Prediction published on 11/12/2021, 00:18  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 11/12/2021 at 01:18 in Championship Predictions

Sheffield United’s top six hopes have been rekindled by a good run in their recent matches and they will be keen to keep the run going when they host QPR. Both teams are eyeing promotion; QPR getting to this game placed fifth with 35 points while Sheffield are 10th with 29 points. The hosts go to this game on three straight wins and four matches unbeaten; another win could see them leap two places up and move closer to the playoff places. That’s their target, and to get there, one area to check is their defence. No team in the top 16 has conceded more than Sheffield; they’ve scored 28 and conceded 28 in their 21 matches. In the recent matches they’ve improved greatly on this aspect though, keeping three clean sheets in the last four matches. They have a draw, a win and two straight clean sheets in their last two home matches, and should have the right confidence for this game.

QPR had a hiccup in their last game, losing 2-0 to Stoke City in their last league game. It was the first time they failed to score in five matches and they will be looking to get to their best having gone unbeaten in the six matches prior. They have two clean sheets in their last five matches and both teams have scored in two of the five matches. Away from home, QPR are unbeaten in the last three matches, winning two and here they have one clean sheet only in the last five. Head to head, QPR have been dominated in this fixture; in the last five meetings, they’ve managed just one win, and lost four.
