Cardiff City remain unbeaten in 3 league matches this season, but have drawn all 3 (1-1, 2-2, 2-2) — picking up 3 points from a possible 9. Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers have won 2 of their 3 matches (3-1, 2-1) and average 1.67 goals per game. The hosts' home form is coming together, and their attack has been sharp late in games, scoring in the 76-90 minute period accounting for 24% of all goals scored in their last 30 matches. Cardiff City, on the other hand, concede most heavily in the 16-30 minute period, accounting for 22% of all goals conceded, a phase when the game is still tight and the away side may push too early. The decisive minutes are likely to be the final 20, when Queens Park Rangers step up against a tiring Cardiff City defense — that's when the hosts can turn a draw into a win.
