Ipswich Town's draw at Southampton on Tuesday night has taken the race to secure the Championship’s second automatic promotion place to the final day of the season.
A win for Ipswich over QPR (12:30 BST) would earn them an immediate return to the Premier League, anything less could open the door for Millwall or Middlesbrough.
- After winning the reverse meeting 4-1 in November, Ipswich could complete the league double over QPR for the first time since 2009-10.
- QPR have kept a clean sheet in each of their past three league visits to Ipswich (W1 D2), as many as their previous 12 beforehand.
- Excluding the curtailed 2019-20 season, Ipswich are unbeaten in their final league game of their past six seasons outside of the Premier League (W4 D2) since a 3-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest in 2016-17.
- QPR have won their final league game in four of the past five seasons (L1), including their past two in a row; the Hoops last ended the season with a league win 3+ years running from 1991-92 to 1994-95 (4 in a row).
- Ipswich Town have lost just one of their past 43 home Championship matches (W28 D14), a 3-0 defeat to Charlton in October this season.
