Play-off chasers Southampton and Queens Park Rangers will face each other at St Mary’s for Tuesday night’s headline act (20:00 GMT).<\/p>\n
The Saints are undefeated across their past six league games (W4 D2) to leave them four points off Wrexham in sixth place.<\/p>\n
QPR’s results haven’t looked as bright (W2 D2 L2) but they are level on points with their hosts and will be just as interested in taking some ground advantage against one of their promotion-chasing rivals.<\/p>\n
Southampton have won each of their last five league games against QPR, since a 2-1 home loss in March 2013 in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
QPR have lost their last two away league games against Southampton, last losing more consecutive visits between 1957 and 1969 (4).<\/p>\n
Southampton have won six of their eight midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league matches this season, with the exceptions being a 3-1 loss at Bristol City and a 0-0 draw with Millwall.<\/p>\n
QPR are unbeaten in their last four midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs) away league matches (W3 D1), keeping a clean sheet in each of the last three.<\/p>\n
Against no side has Southampton’s Finn Azaz provided more assists in English league football than QPR (3), assisting in each of his last three appearances against them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Play-off chasers Southampton and Queens Park Rangers will face each other at St Mary’s for Tuesday night’s headline…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142530,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-142529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
