QPR have won just 1 of their last 5 matches and have never beaten West Ham in their last 5 meetings
West Ham's home record against QPR is unbeaten across the available sample (2 wins, 1 draw at London Stadium area venues)
QPR's defensive solidity (5 goals conceded in 5 recent matches) contrasts sharply with West Ham's attacking threat (16 goals scored in 5 recent matches)

Championship Context
This fixture takes place in Round 9 of the 2026 Championship season. Both teams are competing in England's second tier, with the league campaign well underway. The match will be played at London Stadium, offering a local rivalry element within the capital.
Recent Form Contrast
West Ham have shown positive momentum over their last five matches, securing three wins alongside one draw and one defeat. They have scored 16 goals across this sample while conceding just 7, suggesting both attacking potency and defensive stability. QPR, by contrast, have managed only one win from their last five outings, with three draws and a loss. Their goal tally of 5 for and 5 against indicates a team struggling to break down opponents while remaining vulnerable at the back. The gap in recent performance is significant: West Ham have accumulated 10 points from five matches, while QPR have earned 6 points across the same span.

MIXED FORM
Head-to-Head Record
West Ham hold a clear advantage in their recent history against QPR. Across five meetings, West Ham have won three times, while QPR have not won any of these encounters—the remaining two matches ended in draws. Most recently, West Ham defeated QPR 2-1 at home in an FA Cup tie on 11 January 2026. Before that, the teams last met in Premier League competition in 2014 and 2015, where West Ham won 2-0 at home and the sides drew 0-0 away at Loftus Road. While this sample spans multiple seasons and competitions, it establishes a clear pattern of West Ham dominance in direct meetings.
Match Outlook
West Ham enter as clear favourites based on recent form and historical record. Their three wins in five matches, combined with a +9 goal difference and the added home advantage, position them strongly. QPR face a difficult task: they are without a win against West Ham in five attempts, and their current form—just one win in five league matches—suggests they lack the momentum needed to overturn that trend. However, QPR's ability to draw matches (three in five recent outings) hints at defensive organisation that could make them hard to break down. West Ham's goal-scoring record (16 in five) will be key; if they can convert their chances efficiently, they should control proceedings. For QPR, avoiding defeat may be the realistic objective, though their attacking output (5 goals in five matches) makes it difficult to envisage them finding a way to win at London Stadium.
