Cardiff vs QPR Match Preview

Cardiff is ranked at 15th place with 30 points and comes in a bad run after a single win and four consecutive losses over the last five matches. Now, not only they are quite far from the play-off zone, but also sit only nine points above the relegation zone.

With 30 goals scored so far they have the best offensive side from the bottom half teams and in the last five matches they have scored seven goals, averaging at least a goal per game and failed to score only in the loss against league leaders of Norwich. Moore is finally back from his injury and played half an hour in the last game so he is expected to get even more game time here. He netted eight goals already and is their best scorer alongside Ralls.

QPR, on the other hand, is ranked lower at 20th place with 24 points and comes after a single win three draws and a loss over the last five matches. They finally got back to winning ways after nine consecutive games where they collected four draws and five losses. Still the situation is not that good as they sit only four points above the 22nd spot of the red zone.

They have scored 22 goals so far, which is not the usual expected from a team like them that likes to play offensive football and in the last five matches they have scored only four goals, managing to find the back of the net in three occasions. Dykes has failed to score in any of the last nine games and sooner or later he should end this streak while they also added an experienced player like Austin to their offensive side.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Cardiff needs to end this losing streak as soon as possible if they wish not to complicate their situation further. At home they have scored nine goals over the last five matches. QPR comes after a very good performance, where they had eight shots on target and scored two goals with Austin scoring in his debut.
