QPR will trade tackles with Coventry City at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Friday in a matchday 39 fixture in the EFL Championship.
The hosts come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Reading just before the international break. Goals from Yakou Meite and Lyndon Dykes ensured that both sides shared the spoils.
Meanwhile, Coventry City played out a goalless draw in a relegation six-pointer against Wycombe Wanderers.
That draw was enough to see the Sky Blues climb up to 20th on the standings. QPR are higher up in 12th place, having accrued 50 points from 37 games to date.
QPR vs Coventry City Head-to-Head
The two sides have met on 121 occasions in the past and there is very little to divide them based on their head-to-head record.
Coventry City have a slight advantage with 48 wins, while 31 previous matches ended in a stalemate. QPR were victorious 42 times in the past.
Their most recent meeting came on matchday two of the current campaign. A five-goal thriller was settled by an 84th-minute strike from Kyle McFadzean which gave Coventry City a 3-2 home win.
QPR have rediscovered their best form of late after a bit of a slump in February. The Hoops have lost just one of their last five games.
Coventry City have been in extremely poor form in recent weeks, with just two wins registered in their last 12 league games.
