After last week's stalemate, Oxford United will look to bounce back as they return to Championship action on Tuesday against QPR. Can they overcome the Rangers to boost their chances of beating the drop? Here is our prediction for the match.

Oxford United held ninth-placed Bristol City to a goalless draw at the weekend, extending their winless streak in the English second division to three matches. That result also saw them drift further away from safety as they now sit 23rd in the standings on 23 points, five points behind 21st-placed Portsmouth. 

Matt Bloomfield’s men will look to return to winning ways on Tuesday, but are on the back foot, having failed to win seven of their last eight Championship matches (D2, L5). They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 17 matches across all competitions.  

QPR held firm to salvage a point against Stoke City at the weekend, playing out a goalless draw against the hosts. That result left them 11th in the standings with 39 points, four points behind the playoff places. 

Julien Stéphan’s team are also struggling for results lately, but have maintained a decent scoring record in their recent fixtures. They have found the net in 12 of their last 13 matches, and in six of their last seven away matches.
