QPR Look Set to Keep Close at St Marys

Southampton occupy sixth place in the Championship with QPR two spots lower on identical points after twelve games. Southampton have collected three wins one draw and one defeat in their last five outings while QPR have two wins two draws and one defeat over the same stretch. QPR average 2.4 goals scored per match this season against Southampton’s 1.2 and they net 1.2 goals per away game. Six of the last eight head-to-head fixtures produced over 2.5 goals and QPR claimed one victory in that run. Southampton concede only 0.7 goals per home league game yet QPR’s scoring volume and recent results suggest they can avoid a two-goal margin. The game may unfold as a tight contest where Southampton press forward but struggle to break down a QPR side that has kept pace in most fixtures.
