Stoke City desperately need points on Tuesday, Mar 16 at 8:45 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

QPR come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Stoke City travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — QPR and Stoke City have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes QPR clear favorites, but Stoke City have shown they can grind out results. Expect QPR to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
