Wigan – QPR Preview: Recent Form, Team News, and Possible Lineups
Read all news and facts about both teams before their upcoming duel here, including the most probable Wigan vs QPR lineups:
Wigan
It's been eight games since Wigan last won a match and given their performances prior to this run, it's not a surprise that Wigan is now sitting in the last place in the standings. On the bright side, they are five points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone and eight games are left in the season, so there's still some hope for Wigan that they can survive the season.
Meanwhile, the team will miss injured Charlie Hughes, Martin Kelly, and Jason Kerr in this game.
Wigan Predicted Lineup:
Amos – Rekik, Caulker, Nyambe, Darikwa, Power, Naylor, McClean – Tiehi – Sinani, Keane
QPR
After five losses in the last six games, it is pretty evident that QPR is in really poor form at the moment. The team is now at 42 points from 38 games, which puts them in the lower half of the standings and six points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone. With eight games remaining in the season, QPR is not in immediate danger, but if their poor run continues, they could be soon.
When it comes to team news, six players are on QPR's injury list right now, including important ones like Kenneth Paal, Ilias Chair, and Ethan Laird.
QPR Predicted Lineup:
Dieng – Dickie, Dunne, Field – Adomah, Amos, Iroegbunam, Johansen, Paal – Lowe, Dykes

Player to Watch: Lyndon Dykes
Given the poor forms of both teams, we aren't expecting a spectacle in this match, but we can see some exciting football anyway and one
player that could shine is Lyndon Dykes, our player to watch.
With six goals for Queens Park Rangers this season in Championship, he is the team's joint top-scorer. So, Wigan should beware of Dykes in this duel.
