The last time the two teams met, they came into it in very different shape. Southampton won at home by a narrow 3-2, while Queens Park Rangers went away and thrashed their opponents 5-0. This game is therefore interesting: how much can the team that has just been scoring freely keep that rhythm when it has to travel to a ground where the hosts have not lost in the league for several matches. Southampton have been picking up wins consistently, but most of them have been narrow ones. Their attack still relies more on late chances than on opening up from the start. Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, score a lot but concede just as easily, especially early in games when they often fall behind first. Their defence is therefore the area to watch. If the hosts score first, the game will probably flow Southampton's way, since they control more of the ball. But Queens Park Rangers have a counter-attacking weapon that will keep the hosts alert throughout. The game looks likely to be open and to finish with a margin that is not very wide.
