Both Queens Park Rangers and Fulham have not had great runs in the season so far and they will be looking to reduce the gloom when they face off in the third round of the FA Cup this Saturday. The two sides are placed low in their respective leagues, QPR in 20th place in the 22-team Championship while Fulham are 18th in the Premier League. Hosts QPR take to this game a winless run of nine matches, having lost five in the process. They have three wins in the last 15 matches and with only three clean sheets in the 15 games. Still, in the 15 matches, QPR have conceded two or more goals in eight and failed to score in five. Ahead of this game, they registered what would pass as a good result, coming from down very late to draw 1-1 with Championship leaders Norwich City. In terms of attack, QPR have really slumped in recent times, with just two goals to show in the last five matches and it has also not been rosy at home, with the team being winless in the last four. They have lost three of their last four home games, and have failed to score in their last three home matches. With just two wins in the last 10 home matches, and two clean sheets, QPR will hope to put up a better performance here. They have conceded twice in three of their last five home matches and in the FA Cup, they have three wins in the last 12, with one clean sheet therein. In the last seven matches between the two sides, both have scored.

Fulham, on the other hand, are winless in their last five matches, but haven’t lost in the last four. They have two clean sheets in their last eight matches and just three wins in their last 15, with seven losses. In the last 15 too, Fulham have failed to score in seven and have scored two or more goals in four. Going to this game though, they haven’t conceded more than a goal in the last four. A lot of improvement will be needed in their away run though, with the team having won just one of their last eight – that coming against Leicester City. They have lost five of their last eight away matches while they have failed to score in four of the eight and conceded two or more goals in three. In the FA Cup, Fulham have four losses in the last five matches and have no clean sheet in their last nine matches in the competition. Against QPR, Fulham are unbeaten in the last five meetings but matches between the two have been high scoring in recent times. Nine of the last 10 matches between these two sides have produced over 2.5 goals.
