QPR vs Brentford
England League Championship
Date: Friday, 28th October 2016,
Kick-Off at 19:45 UK
Venue: Loftus Road, London.
Queens Park Rangers
Queens Park Rangers (QPR) find themselves in midtable (13th) following their 1-0 loss at Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side have recovered after a poor start to the season and they currently trail the playoff places by 4 points.
Goals are hard to come by for QPR, in their last 6 Championship games they have scored just 6 goals netting more than 1 goal in 1/6. Both sides have scored in 4/6 but both of the last 2 results have ended 1-0 (1 win, 1 loss).
At home the win over Bristol City (1-0) last time out is their first in 5 (0-3-2). The only clean sheet in the last 6 came in that recent win but Rangers have netted in 4/5 so these games have been very close.
Brentford
Brentford lost at home to Barnsley (0-2) last time out and the defeat is their 2nd in 3 games. They share 19 points with QPR but have dropped down the table in recent weeks and really need a positive result in Friday's West London Derby.
Brentford have failed to score in 3/4 games which has come unexpectedly. Prior to this run they scored 5 against Preston and 4 against Reading, however both came at home. At the back 2 clean sheets in 4 is good but in the other 2 games during this run they conceded 5 times.
On their travels 0 wins in 4 (0-2-2) and 1 away win all season isn't great. Brentford have scored in 4/5 away games with 2/5 clean sheets, the problem is again once they concede they concede many with 7 goals against in the 3 games they didn't keep clean sheets.
