QPR 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 drawing too many games (4D in last 5). Stoke City, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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: Stoke City's quality should tell even on the road. QPR will push, but the visitors have too much class. Stoke City to win.
