QPR are winless in their last four league matches against Sunderland (D2 L2) since a 1-0 victory back in March 2018.

Sunderland have won their last two away league visits to QPR, scoring three goals in each victory (3-0 in 2022-23 and 3-1 in 2023-24).

QPR are one of two sides, along with Portsmouth, without a home league win this season (D3 L3) – only in 2012-13 and 2023-24 have they waited longer in a Football League season for their first home win (both 8^th game).

Sunderland have won four of their six away league games this season (L2) and could win three consecutive such games for the first time since September 2023.

Only Anis Mehmeti (15) has recorded more shots following a carry in the Championship this season than Sunderland’s Patrick Roberts (13), while the winger is joint-third for chances created following a carry (9) behind Giorgi Chakvetadze (15) and Luca Koleosho (12).
