Recent respective form guides

Queens Park Rangers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rangers have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Doncaster Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. These low-scoring games have seen just 4 goals scored and conceded.

Q.P.R. are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 34 from their 30 matches played. Doncaster Rvs.'s 40 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
