Head-to-head statistics Charlton - QPR

Charlton Team Overview
Charlton have been playing a fairly aggressive game at the start of the season. In their last five matches they have won three, lost one and drawn one, which points to a degree of consistency over that short run. However, over the previous ten matches their defence has been unreliable, conceding at an average of 1.9 goals per game, despite reasonably solid attacking numbers of 1.4 goals scored. That style makes them prone to goal-heavy games, particularly given how frequently results have swung between success and failure even within short stretches of the season.
The need to stay among the promotion contenders demands a steady points return, but the absence of extreme pressure allows them to play with more freedom going forward.

Queens Park Rangers Team Overview
Queens Park Rangers have been holding their own near the top of the table, winning three and drawing one of their last five matches with just one defeat. Over a ten-match stretch the team look less prolific, averaging 1.1 goals scored per game, though their defensive record is above the league average - 1.5 goals conceded per game over the longer run, dropping to just 0.8 over the last five matches.
Their main objective is to close the gap on first place, which gives them a moderate incentive to maintain a balance between attacking and caution so as not to drop important points at this early stage of the race.
