It's fair to say that QPR and Charlton are not the most well acquainted opponents in recent years due to the sides having alternating league's, because of this we cannot place too much emphasis on the last 5 meetings between the sides as many of these games were played over 5 years ago and do not reflect the sides in their current state.

That said we can use the last game the sides played as this was only back in August at the beginning of the season. In this fixture QPR won convincingly with a 3-1 victory, this may in fact provide them with the mental edge coming into this Friday's game.

Recent Charlton and QPR Form Analysis:

Last 5 Charlton Games:

1. Charlton 1-5 Chelsea
2. Charlton 1-0 Sheffield Utd
3. Charlton 1-2 Derby
4. Millwall 4-0 Charlton
5. Leicester 0-2 Charlton

In their last 5 outings Charlton have shown form that highlights why they currently sit all the way down in 18th in the Championship table. They have only been able to produce 2 wins and losing 3 may not seem too bad but the manner in which they have suffered defeat is a cause for concern.

The defence has been the main Achilles heel for Charlton, in their last 5 they have conceded a whopping 11 goals, 9 of which came in their defeats to Millwall and Chelsea. Up front the side have shown some promise in scoring goals, they have bagged 5 in 5.

Last 5 QPR Games:

1. West Ham 2-1 QPR
2. Stoke 0-0 QPR
3. Oxford Utd 0-0 QPR
4. QPR 2-3 Wrexham
5. QPR 2-1 Coventry

QPR have funnily enough shown a vein of form that is marginally worse than their upcoming opponents however a win last time out indicates they may be coming out of their rut in form. The side have only recorded a single victory in all competitions and suffered 2 defeats and 2 draws.

Both draws for the side were in fact goalless which shows both sides of their game are lacking at the moment, they have not been great up front but have been ok at the back for the most part. They have conceded 6 in their last 5 and scored 5.

Key Players To Watch:

Sonny Carey (Charlton):

Carey has been the shining star for Charlton so far this season with consistent top performances and top tier contributions to boot. He is currently leading the sides league contributions list with 8, double that of 2nd place. Specifically Carey has 7 goals and 1 assist and will very likely play a key role in this game if Charlton are to record a result.

Richard Kone (QPR):

Since his arrival in the summer Kone has proven to have been a very astute buy and has formed a deadly partnership with fellow forward Rumarn Burrell, however with Burrell out at the moment, Kone has stepped up to be the key man in QPR's attack. He is currently the sides third top contributor in the league with 8, 6 goals and 2 assists.
