QPR have found themselves sliding dangerously towards the relegation battle in recent weeks, with this weekend the perfect time to put a bit of distance between them and the drop zone.
The hosts have lost their past six consecutive matches in the English second tier, though they have been beaten by a margin of more than one goal just once.
QPR have managed to find the back of the net in their last four outings, but it has been deficiencies at the other end of the field which has left their Championship form lacking.
Nottingham Forest are similarly in the endangered pack of teams above the relegation zone at the foot of the table, but recent home wins against Huddersfield and Reading should see them safe.
Forest haven’t won away from home in the league since late November, with their form at home being the factor that will carry them to safety.
QPR haven’t had the rub of the green of late, and will want to set the record straight with a result that will definitively dispel any slight relegation fears.
