Prior to their match against Stoke City at Loftus Road on Saturday at 3pm, QPR has conflicting injury reports. Joe Walsh, Morgan Fox, and Kenneth Paal will be available for QPR’s match against the Potters, despite the club’s announcement that forward Karamoko Dembele will be out until February following knee surgery.
With Rangers on an 11-game losing streak, the game should still be a banker for Narcis Pelach’s comeback squad. The Hoops are really five points behind the leaders in the Championship table and have only won once this season.
This weekend at Loftus Road, they will also be missing important players Jake Clarke-Salter and Ilias Chair. Michael Frey and Jack Colback are also probably out due to injuries.
However, Stoke has a history of making mistakes against weaker opponents and following international vacations. Additionally, Potters supporters will be a little nervous when they head to West London because they have only won one of their last seven league games against QPR, and both of those losses were by 4-2 scores.
One of those 4-2 defeats occurred over a year ago, when the home team overcame a 2-1 behind in the last 12 minutes to win, with Ben Pearson scoring an own goal and Enda Stevens getting his marching orders.
After a difficult start to the season and an unclear transfer from Steve Schumacher to Pelach as head coach, the Potters have only lost one of their last eight Championship games (W3 D4), putting them four points clear of the drop zone and six out of the play-offs. Despite this, the statistics are in the visitors’ favour.
They will be anticipating more spectacular performances from South Korean sensation Bae Junho. This season, no player in the Championship has more assists, and striker Tom Cannon, who has six goals, will be eager to capitalise and extend his own record. In Stoke’s last five games, he has scored three goals.
Wouter Berger’s one-match suspension will require Stoke manager Pelach to make at least one alteration. Jordan Thompson is expected to be a direct replacement in the middle.
