Stoke City desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Stoke City come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). QPR, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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

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