QPR are heading into the match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Preston North End at the weekend thanks to Lyndon Dykes’ 20th-minute effort. It was their 13th league-win of the season and with two games remaining, three points on Friday will guarantee their Championship survival for another 12 months. Marti Cifuentes’s side have impressively won eight of their last 17 league outings, the sixth-best return in the division during that time. Meanwhile, the Hoops have the second-worst home-record in the second tier this term, having won only six of their 22 games at Loftus Road, while pocketing just 24 points in the process.
Leeds, on the other hand, boast the best home-record in the Championship this campaign, collecting 53 points from a possible 66 at Elland Road. The Whites have also done decently well on the road, winning 11 of their 22 away games in the league, pocketing 37 points in the process. Daniel Farke’s side are heading into the match on the back of a thrilling 4-3 victory away to Middlesbrough on Saturday. Crysencio Summerville’s brace and one effort each from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto helped the Whites secure all three points at Riverside Stadium and the result ended their three-game winless run in the league. It was their 27th Championship-victory of the campaign.
