Match Facts

After winning the reverse fixture 2-0 back in December, Queens Park Rangers will be looking to record just a third-ever league double over Preston North End in the EFL, behind 1967-68 and 2019-20.
Preston North End have won five of their last seven away league games against Queens Park Rangers (L2), with six of those matches seeing the Lancashire outfit score 2+ goals.
Queens Park Rangers have won 20 points in 15 home league games under Martí Cifuentes (W5 D5 L5), after winning just five points in their previous 15 matches (W1 D2 L12) at Loftus Road under Gareth Ainsworth (13 games) and Neil Critchley (2 games).
Preston North End have won just one of their last seven away league trips to London (D2 L4), though that sole victory in the capital did come at Loftus Road in this fixture last season (2-0).
Sam Field is Queens Park Rangers’ joint-top scorer in the Championship so far in 2024 with three goals (level with Ilias Chair) after scoring just once in 45 league appearances in 2023.
