QPR – Southampton

QPR host Southampton in what promises to be a decisive fixture as the Blues sit sixth with 12 points from seven games, having scored eight and conceded five. The Saints arrive in second place, boasting 14 points after a dominant 18‑8 goal record and a run of four wins and two draws. Both sides will be eager to close the gap at the top, with QPR hoping to turn their three draws into a winning streak while Southampton look to maintain their momentum. The clash could prove pivotal for the promotion race, especially given the narrow two‑point separation between the two clubs.
