Cardiff will travel to London on Saturday afternoon to take on QPR in Championship action. Before making a prediction on the match, a look at the league table shows the home R's in 15th position and the visiting Bluebirds in 22nd.

Only the two Sheffield clubs have taken three points away from Loftus Road since a loss to Middlesbrough on November 4. Leeds drew 2-2 here in the R's most recent home outing.

They sit just five points above the relegation zone at present. A buffer of six teams between themselves and the drop will give them plenty of hope of staying up and a result against a team below them is crucial. 

Cardiff are in the relegation places as the season enters its final seven games. They are only a point from safety and won at Blackburn in their most recent away game in the league.

That was only their second win on the road all season, their first coming at Watford just after Christmas. They have been a hard team to keep off the scoresheet, only Leeds shutting them out in their last 12 away league matches but they have struggled to stop conceding.

Our QPR vs Cardiff Prediction

Both of these teams have been solid for goals this season. Each of them has plenty still to play for, most notably Cardiff if they are to climb out of the relegation places. Only one QPR home game since before Christmas has failed to have three or more goals in it and nine of Cardiff's last 11 in the league away from home have hit that total. As such, our QPR vs Cardiff prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
