Queens Park Rangers host Burnley at MATRADE Loftus Road in London on Tuesday, November 3, with kick-off scheduled for 19:45 local time. The Championship match brings together two sides with different concerns after 13 games: QPR are ninth with 20 points and remain in the playoff race, while 22nd-placed Burnley have nine points and are trying to move out of the relegation zone. Neither side has found it easy to turn recent matches into wins, but QPR’s goalscoring at home and the visitors’ defensive record give this fixture an intriguing attacking angle.

Queens Park Rangers' Recent Form and Key Stats

Queens Park Rangers come into the match after a 4-1 defeat away to Southampton on October 31. It was their second loss in three games, interrupting any momentum from the victory they recorded in that stretch. Across their last five matches, QPR have won twice, drawn once and lost twice, scoring an average of 2.2 goals per game while conceding 1.8.

The broader Championship picture is mixed. QPR have five wins, five draws and three defeats from their opening 13 league fixtures, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match. They have managed only two victories in their last nine Championship games, a sequence that also includes four draws and three losses. Those dropped points have kept them two points behind the top eight ahead of Burnley’s visit.

Home form offers the hosts a more encouraging reference point. They have won their last two Championship games at MATRADE Loftus Road and scored nine goals across those two victories. That return contrasts with their less convincing overall run and makes the venue an important part of this match preview. Still, the goal trend has not been uniform: two of QPR’s last ten home league matches finished without a goal for either team.

Burnley's Recent Form and Key Stats

Burnley arrive after a 0-0 home draw with Portsmouth on October 31. That result extended their winless run to four matches, comprising two draws and two defeats. Their last five games have brought one win, two draws and two losses, with averages of 1.6 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per match. The goalless Portsmouth fixture therefore sits alongside a wider five-game scoring record that has not been limited to low totals.

The Clarets’ season record stands at one win, six draws and six defeats. Their Championship averages of 1.3 goals scored and 1.9 conceded per game show why results have been difficult to secure, even though they have lost only two of their last six league matches. Burnley have also failed to win 27 of their last 28 matches, underlining how rarely they have been able to turn competitive outings into victories.

Playing away adds another challenge. Burnley have lost four of their last six Championship trips, winning one and drawing one in the same sequence. With QPR coming off two high-scoring home wins, the visitors will need an improvement on that away record if they are to take a positive result from this meeting.

Queens Park Rangers vs Burnley Match Analysis

The contrast in league positions gives Queens Park Rangers an opportunity to strengthen their playoff push, but their recent inconsistency makes a straightforward home victory difficult to assume. Burnley, meanwhile, have drawn six of their first 13 league games and lost only twice in their last six, despite remaining 22nd. The hosts’ two wins in nine Championship matches and the visitors’ four-game winless run both point to teams that have struggled to settle close contests.

The goals data offers a clearer theme. QPR’s last five games have featured averages of 2.2 goals scored and 1.8 conceded by the London side. Burnley’s corresponding figures are 1.6 at each end. Over the season, QPR’s scoring and conceding averages add up to 2.8 goals per game, while Burnley’s add up to 3.2. These figures do not guarantee a similar total on Tuesday, particularly after Burnley’s 0-0 draw with Portsmouth, but they provide a reason to consider a match with chances at both ends.

Previous meetings add context without settling the outcome. Three of the last four games between these sides were described as high-scoring, and their most recent head-to-head finished 0-5 on April 26, 2025. Across the five matches in the supplied head-to-head summary, QPR have one win, one draw and three defeats, averaging 0.4 goals scored and 2.0 conceded. This time, their nine goals across two recent home league wins suggest a different attacking prospect, while Burnley’s 1.9 goals conceded per Championship match remains a concern for the visitors.
