QPR’s Form Guide
It’s been a progressive season for QPR , building on their 15th-place finish from last season. Frenchman Julien Stéphan took the reins as Head Coach in June following multiple stints coaching at youth level with Rennes as well as a couple with their Senior side from 2018-2021 and 2023-2024, and a stint with Strasbourg in 2021-2024. This year, they’re 11th following 26 games and are only 3 points off a playoff place.
QPR's most famous FA Cup moment came in 1982, when, as a Second Division side under Terry Venables, they reached the final. They drew 1-1 with Tottenham in the first game before losing 1-0 in the replay. They have not gone passed the third round since the 1996/1997 season when they reached the Round of 16.
Ahead of this fixture, it should be noted that QPR’s 38 league goals mean they have the fourth-best attack in their division, but their 39 goals conceded is the joint second-worst in the Championship . Thus, there could be goals on the cards come Sunday.
