STB message boarder Leggi is back giving us an insight into Town's opposition on Saturday it's Queens Park Rangers at Portman Road in The Championship.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS
Saturday 29th March 2008, Portman Road, Kick-off 15:00
Founded in 1882, QPR play their home games at the 19,128 capacity, Loftus Road Stadium, they finished a disappointing 18th in the table last season, but received a real boost in August when Formula One tycoons, Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore bought the club, Steel magnate, Lakshmi Mittal also bought a 20% share in December, making 'The Hoops' one of the richest clubs in the world. Managed by Italian, Luigi De Canio,
Rangers can look forward to a very bright season next time around with lots of big money signings sure to make the move to West London. This season I feel they will end comfortably in mid-table, having lost just 2 of their last 11 games, they currently sit 14th in The Championship with 52 points, 7 points behind Play-off chasing Town, and Town having a game in hand.
Ipswich beat Rangers in this same fixture last term, goals from Jon Walters and Alan Lee helping The Tractorboys to a 2-1 victory.
Whilst both teams shared the points in the first meeting at Loftus Road this season, Sylvain Legwinski opened the scoring for Ipswich, Nygaard equalised for, the then, bottom club.
*MATCHFACTS* There has only been one goalless draw between the 2 teams at Portman Road (29 meetings). When Ipswich have gone in at Half-Time with the lead they have never lost the game.
FORM GUIDE
(5th) QPR P6 W3 D2 L1
(10th) IPSWICH P6 W2 D2 L2
OUR LEAGUE RECORD V QPR AT PORTMAN ROAD
Played: 29
Won: 15
Drawn: 8
Lost: 6
Goals:
For: 45
Against: 32
The highest attendance came in 2005 when 29,008 watched Ipswich lose to Rangers 2-0 in The Championship. The lowest gate of just 8,372 watched a Division 3(South) defeat For Ipswich, this time by one goal to nil. Our biggest win is 4-0 achieved in 1956 in a Division 3(south) game, Tom Garneys and a Ted Phillips hat-trick doing the business. Our Biggest loss came in our Play-off winning season of 1999-2000, The Hoops victors by 4 goals to one, Matt Holland scoring for Town.
Tommy Parker is our leading all time scorer with 6 goals, Eric Gates, Ted Phillips and Tom Garneys all scored 4.
18 Players have represented both clubs, they include:, Alan Brazil, Wayne Brown, Paul Goddard, Chris Kiwomya, Phil Parkes and Mark Stein.
Leggi's player to fear: is 25-year-old Striker AKOS BUZSACKY The Hungarian dead ball specialist was first spotted by Jose Mourinho in 2001, 'The special one' paid £400,000 to entice him to FC Porto, although he only managed 4 games for the Portuguese giants, scoring just 1 goal, a loan spell with MTK Hungaria saw him again score just 1 goal, before Plymouth snapped him up in 2005, Initially on a loan deal, he signed permanently that same summer, he went on to make over 5o appearances for The Pilgrims before moving to West London on loan in October last year, he scored 6 goals in his first 13 games and was signed permanently in January, since when he has scored a further four goals and sits just 2 goals behind Rangers' leading scorer, Patrick Agyemang.
Leggi Predicts: Although QPR are in a decent run of form, we are back at 'The Fortress' so I can only see this going one way. I hope Rhodes gets his first start after once again scoring for the reserves this week, and Kuqi can also play a part in our team in the run in.
My Score prediction 2-0 to Town!!
