Southampton vs QPR

Match preview

Southampton welcome Queens Park Rangers to St. Mary's Stadium for an intriguing Championship fixture between two sides locked level on twenty points from twelve matches. The hosts sit sixth in the standings, buoyed by a formidable home record that has seen them win five of their six fixtures on their own turf so far this season, most recently overcoming their opponents here by five goals to nil back in February.

QPR arrive just two places and goal difference behind in eighth, though their away form shows a steady foundation with only a single defeat on the road. Having edged a narrow victory in November before that heavy subsequent loss in this fixture last term, the visitors will be eager to test the home side's defensive resolve. Both teams have shown enough consistency recently to suggest a tightly contested battle in this meeting of promotion contenders.
