Match preview
Oxford managed to climb into the Championship for the first time in a long time following last season. Clearly, the modest club's main goal is to retain their spot in the second tier of English football.
Overall, the club is having a mixed campaign but is close to achieving its set goal. With six matches to go until the end of the season, Oxford has 45 points and is four points ahead of Cardiff, who are in the relegation zone.
The London club left the Premier League in 2015 and has often been battling in the lower part of the Championship table since. It can already be stated that this season will be no exception.
QPR is five points away from the relegation zone. The team has not known victory for a long time, although they are sitting in a relatively safe 16th place. It seems the team will finish closer to the relegation zone than the playoff spots once again.
Match facts
- Oxford has won the last two home matches with the same score of 1-0.

H2H
Oxford has not beaten Queens Park Rangers since 1998.
Prediction
The teams are roughly equal in terms of player quality and are close to securing their Championship status for next season. I think the hosts will capitalize on the opponent's poor form, and I'll bet that Oxford will not lose this game.
