The upcoming Championship clash between Leicester City and Queens Park Rangers promises to be a crucial one for both sides fighting to improve their league positions. The Foxes, currently sitting 21st, have shown signs of recovery after a difficult spell, while QPR, in 18th place, are desperate to halt their recent slide. With both teams struggling for consistency, this encounter could have significant implications in the battle to avoid relegation.
Leicester City have endured a turbulent campaign, but recent performances suggest a potential turnaround. After a long winless run, they finally secured a 2-0 home victory against Bristol City on March 10, a result that lifted them out of the relegation zone on goal difference. That win followed a valuable draw away at Ipswich Town, giving the Foxes four points from their last two fixtures.
Across their last five matches, Leicester have recorded one win, three draws, and one defeat, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. Over the course of the season, their record stands at 11 wins, 11 draws, and 15 losses, with an average of 1.4 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per match. Despite their inconsistency, the Foxes have been involved in entertaining games — Over 1.5 goals have been scored in each of their last 27 matches, including all of their last 15 home league fixtures.
Defensively, however, Leicester remain vulnerable. They have conceded at least one goal in 30 of their last 31 Championship matches, a statistic that underlines their ongoing issues at the back. On the attacking side, they have been more reliable, often finding the net early — Over 0.5 goals at half time have been scored in 22 of their last 24 games. The Foxes’ home form has been mixed, with seven wins and seven defeats, but their recent clean sheet against Bristol City could provide a much-needed confidence boost.
Queens Park Rangers travel to Leicester in poor form, having lost their last four Championship matches. Their most recent defeat came on March 11, a 1-0 loss away to Birmingham City. The Hoops have struggled badly in front of goal, failing to score in each of their last four league games while conceding 12 goals during that stretch. Despite sitting nine points above the relegation zone, their current trajectory is worrying.
In their last five matches, QPR have managed just one win and suffered four defeats, averaging 0.6 goals scored and 2.6 conceded per game. Over the season, their record stands at 13 wins, 8 draws, and 16 losses, with an average of 1.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded. Their away form has also been disappointing, with only one win in their last ten away league and cup fixtures.
QPR’s attacking struggles are reflected in their low-scoring games — Under 0.5 goals have been recorded in four of their last 12 away matches in the Championship. They have also trailed at half time in each of their last four league fixtures, highlighting their slow starts. To get a result at the King Power Stadium, the London side will need to rediscover their scoring touch and tighten up defensively.
This fixture brings together two sides with contrasting momentum. Leicester City appear to have regained some belief after a strong week, while Queens Park Rangers are struggling to find any rhythm. The Foxes’ attacking consistency and home advantage could prove decisive, especially against a QPR side that has failed to score in four consecutive matches.
Historically, Leicester have had the upper hand in this matchup, winning three of the last five meetings, including a convincing 4-1 victory in December 2025. Given QPR’s defensive frailties and Leicester’s recent improvement, another home win looks likely. The match could also feature goals, as both teams have been involved in high-scoring encounters this season — Over 2.5 goals has landed in 58% of Leicester’s recent games.
Expect Leicester to take control early, with their attacking players looking to exploit QPR’s shaky defense. The visitors will need to show resilience and efficiency in front of goal if they are to avoid a fifth straight defeat. However, based on current form and statistical trends, the Foxes seem better positioned to claim all three points.
