Match preview


Hull created few opportunities of real note against Millwall and only won thanks to Jake Cooper's own goal, though they did prevent their opponents from producing a single big chance.


Boss Ruben Selles has only been in charge for eight Championship matches but has managed to win three and draw two, earning more points than his team had in their prior 13 league outings.


The Tigers did beat QPR 3-1 in the reverse fixture on October 1, a match in which performed excellently in the second half, creating two big chances while not facing one themselves.


Selles's side have scored 26 goals and conceded 36 times in the second tier, and these records make them the division's fourth-worst offensive and 11th-worst defensive club.


Hull's form at home is mixed considering they have drawn two, lost one and won one of their last four league outings at the MKM Stadium.


As for QPR, they were utterly dominant against Plymouth given they only faced one shot on target while producing nearly three xG, six big chances and 11 shots from inside the box.


Head coach Marti Cifuentes will have been pleased that his side kept a clean sheet for the first time in eight matches, bouncing back from their 6-2 defeat at the hands of Leicester City in the FA Cup on January 11.


QPR are six points from sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion, who occupy the league's final promotion playoff spot, though their goal difference of minus four is the worst in the top 14.


The Rangers are in fine form, with the club having triumphed in their last three fixtures in the Championship, and they have won seven, drawn three and lost just one of their last 11 in the division.


No other team has earned more points in their last four league outings than Cifuentes's team, though they have only won once in their past five Championship games on the road, drawing three times in that period.



Hull City possible starting lineup:

Rushworth; Drameh, Burns, Jones, McLoughlin; Slater, Alzate, Puerta; Kamara, Galvao, Burstow


Queens Park Rangers possible starting lineup:

Nardi; Dunne, Edwards, Fox, Paal; Varane, Field; Smyth, Morgan, Chair; Frey
