Pick of the stats: Queens Park Rangers v Blackburn Rovers

[BBC]

Blackburn Rovers will hope to escape the bottom three as they make the trip to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Rovers, who are currently without a manager, have only one win across their past 10 league games and are kept in the danger zone by goal difference.

That victory came against basement side Sheffield Wednesday but the Hoops will prove a much tougher task, with the hosts keen on staying in contention for the play-off places.

  • Following their 1-0 win in November, QPR are looking to complete their first league double over Blackburn since 1970-71.
  • Blackburn have lost three of their last four league games against QPR (W1), as many as they had in their previous 21 (W12 D6).
  • Only three sides (Coventry, Ipswich and Birmingham) have scored more home goals than Queens Park Rangers in the Championship this season (28).
  • Blackburn have won just two of their last 16 league games (D7 L7), a run which started with a 1-0 defeat to QPR at the end of November.
  • Nicolas Madsen has twice as many assists (6) and has created twice as many chances (50) than any other QPR player in the Championship this season.
