Pick of the stats: QPR v Blackburn Rovers
- Published
QPR host Blackburn in the Championship on Tuesday night (19:45 GMT) seeking to avoid a third straight defeat, while Rovers are aiming for back-to-back wins.
Rovers lie fifth and while they are 13 points adrift of fourth-placed Sunderland, they are at the head of a pack of eight teams separated by just four points in the race for the top-six.
The Rs start the day in 14th but know a victory would take them within three points of the play-off places.
QPR have lost both of their past two home league games against Blackburn, never before losing three in a row.
Blackburn Rovers have won five of their past six league games against QPR (L1), keeping four clean sheets during that time.
QPR's 0-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday ended a five-game home winning run in the Championship. The Hoops haven't lost successive home league matches without scoring within a single season since April 2023 (run of 3).
Blackburn have lost three of their past four away league outings (D1), as many as their previous 12 on the road (W6 D3 L3).
Only against Cardiff City (7) and Hull City (6) has Blackburn's Andreas Weimann scored more goals in his English league career than he has against QPR (5). That said, the Austrian has failed to score in his last 10 league appearances against the Hoops since bagging a brace for Bristol City in August 2018.
