Recent Sheffield Utd and QPR Match Analysis:

Sheffield Utd Last 5 Games:

1. Coventry 3-1 Sheffield Utd (EFL Championship)
2. Sheffield Utd 1-3 Derby (EFL Championship)
3. Preston 3-2 Sheffield Utd (EFL Championship)
4. Blackburn 1-3 Sheffield Utd (EFL Championship)
5. Sheffield Utd 1-0 Watford (EFL Championship)

The form of the Blades by itself isn't hugely impressive, it's not horrendous by any means but 2 wins and 3 losses in your previous 5 is hardly ground-breaking stuff. What's important to note is that this is in comparison to 1 win in their previous 9 prior to this last run of fixtures. So perhaps this Sheffield side are starting to show some ability to turn it around.

QPR Last 5 Games:

1. QPR 1-4 Ipswich Town (EFL Championship)
2. Derby 1-0 QPR (EFL Championship)
3. Swansea 0-1 QPR (EFL Championship)
4. QPR 1-2 Millwall (EFL Championship)
5. Bristol City 1-2 QPR (EFL Championship)

The form of QPR is identical to that of their upcoming opponents also having 2 wins and 3 losses in their previous 5 games. Importantly all of QPR's wins have come away from home in this run and will be heading on the road for this weekends game.

Key Players To Watch:

Nicolas Madsen (QPR): The Danish midfielder has been a standout for the West London side racking up a long set of consistent midfield performances. He has 1 goal and 1 assist from defensive midfield for the side and looks set to continue to boss the midfield yet again in this weekends game.

Gustavo Hamer (Sheffield Utd): Dutch midfielder Hamer will be a well recognised name to fans of the EFL Championship having put in a campaign that deemed him worthy of a spot in the league Team of The Year just last season. So far his quality is not shining through quite as strongly this season with only 1 assist to his name in 9 league games. However it would be silly to doubt his proven quality and is a candidate from turning games on their head in any game he plays.
