Queens Park Rangers vs Stoke City Prediction: Stoke are on three game unbeaten run

Queens Park Rangers will welcome Stoke City at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in Game Week 16 of the English Championship. Stoke are on three game unbeaten run. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

While Marti Cifuentes gained some credibility from last season, he knows that another couple of losses may mean the sack for him. QPR now stands at the bottom of the table and five points shy of safety as the team extends an 11-game winless streak in the Championship. Despite recent goalless draws against Burnley and Sunderland, Cifuentes' position may be under threat after conceding six goals in their matches against Middlesbrough and Leeds United. It is essential to consider the quality of their recent opponents when evaluating QPR's struggles, but they cannot afford to fall further behind in the standings. 

Nardi, Dunne, Cook, Field, Ashby, Morgan, Varane, Saito, Smyth, Celar, and Andersen

Stoke, under Narcis Pelach, have taken some time to come around to his tactics after a dodgy start at the bet365 Stadium.

They are now unbeaten in eight games: seven points gained from four matches, including victories over Derby County and Blackburn Rovers, however, frustration was raised against a 1-1 draw with Millwall after Stoke were denied what they felt was a clear penalty on Jake B Baker. Despite conceding just three goals from their two away matches, Stoke won the last one with a 2-0 win over Blackburn. 

Johansson, Tchamadeu, Phillips, Gibson, Bocat, Seko, Thompson, Manhoef, Moran, Bae, and Cannon.

Harrison Ashby and Liam Morrison are back in training and should be available for inclusion. Kenneth Paal, Morgan Fox, and Joe Walsh may make appearances, with his starting status for the match up in the air. Stoke manager Pelach will have to make at least one change as Wouter Berger is suspended. He will most likely bring in Jordan Thompson in the process. Lewis Koumas may take over Million Manhoef's attacking third. Cifuentes will hope the international break has reinvigorated his players, but Stoke's extra training could give them the result. It could be a very tight win for Stoke.
