Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
QPR and Cardiff are combining for 3.6 goals a game this season, and Superior's model projects a 1-2 away win for Cardiff on 2 September, with 2-2 as the alternative. Cardiff have scored in four of their last five matches, while QPR have been held scoreless in two of their own last five.
QPR have been blanked twice in their last five
QPR's recent form includes a goalless draw with Bolton and a 1-1 draw with Millwall either side of a 1-3 defeat away at Portsmouth, only two wins worth of goals across five matches. Cardiff have been more consistent going forward, scoring in four of their last five including three at home to Swindon Town, even while picking up just one win in that stretch, a 3-2 result against the same Swindon side.
Both previous h2h meetings finished as draws
The counter to backing an away win is that the last two meetings between these sides both finished level, a 2-2 and a 0-0, and QPR's own home record in this run includes a 3-1 win over Portsmouth that shows the attack can function when it clicks. If that home scoring form returns and Cardiff's away defence, which has already conceded seven goals across its last three matches, has another leaky night, the tie could settle level again rather than go Cardiff's way as projected.
