Both teams come into this match off the back of morale-boosting victories in the league. Charlton also had a busy window, signing more players than most others in the Championship, the question is whether or not Nathan Jones can integrate them quickly enough for them to have an impact.

📈 Charlton v QPR Form & Tactics

Charlton really need that win at Leicester last time out. It was partially granted to them with the Caleb Okoli red card after 15 minutes, but to Charlton’s credit, they took advantage of the situation professionally, albeit they did also benefit from Leicester missing a penalty. A potential concern is that the only wins that Charlton have managed in the last eight league games have been where they have enjoyed a numerical advantage from the first half onwards.

It has been their home form which has kept Charlton away from danger so far and, actually, their performance data over the season at home is solid. They have created 1.22xG per game and conceded 1.29xG, a differential of just -0.07.

QPR still have a chance of reaching the play-offs this season, but they will need to build on their comeback victory over the league leaders last time out in order to achieve this. The win over Coventry was their first in four, and they have only two victories in eight matches, both at home. They are pretty much in line with where their expected points data would suggest that they should be.

It has to be a concern for Julian Stephan, and the QPR supporters, that they have no wins in six matches away from home. They have only managed more than one goal in an away match twice this season as well, with no goals coming in their last two away games. They have a negative xG differential away, -0.33 xG, and that is primarily because they have created only 1.06xG per match in those matches.

📔 Charlton v QPR Formation & Team News

Charlton will definitely play three at the back, it is the formation ahead of that which is subject to change. Since the signing of Lyndon Dykes, the Australian-Scot tends to occupy the central position up front, which has meant that Miles Leaburn drifts to the left and Sonny Carey, from playing alongside Greg Docherty in the centre, is pushed higher to play in support.

New wingbacks Harry Clarke and Luke Chambers have definitely added something on either side, and we will have to see long term where Conor Coady fits into the team. There are no new injury concerns for Nathan Jones.

Karamoko Dembele is not going to be available for QPR, having been taken off early against Coventry.This adds to forward headaches for Stephan, with Kwame Poku and Koki Saito also unavailable. This means that Daniel Bennie is likely to play wide, not his favourite position, but the young Aussie has earned his chance in the team following plenty of goals in the U21s.

It will be a 4-2-3-1 for Rangers, with Richard Kone continuing up front, and Harvey Vale in behind. Ronnie Edwards has been playing at right-back, with Jimmy Dunne infield, which was an initial surprise, but seems to be working at the moment.
