MATCH PREVIEW

The safety rope has looked badly frayed for some weeks now and it might well snap on Sunday for one of these beleaguered clubs. The unlikely mathematical equations have become more improbable by the week with each defeat, and now we know the loser of this one is DEFINITELY down.

For the winner, there's the tiniest chink of light in the darkest, longest tunnel.

A draw? Well that just puts the whole sad inevitable conclusion on pause for a day or two but looking at their recent runs it's probably the most likely outcome. Even the mega-wealthy QPR can't buy a win. Five games without one for them, nine for Reading.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION

"This fixture is a little bit like the day after the wedding when everybody's got a massive hangover. There isn't any pressure on either side."

Read Lawro's full prediction and score

True, celebrating victory would be a welcome novelty for both sets of supporters but they're bright enough to appreciate that it won't unlock the door to safety.

Besides, Rangers probably used up all their luck a year ago while at the same time Reading were beating everybody in sight in the Championship to storm to the title.

Perhaps they came up too early and QPR should have dropped 12 months ago. Who knows?

What we surely know is that this game will be on the Championship fixture list next season. On Sunday, both managers will be looking for pointers ahead of what they hope will be promotion campaigns, while the players should be focussing on producing performances to ensure they will still be wanted.

It might be hyped as the 'last-chance saloon', but really this one is the fight to avoid the wooden spoon. It's pride, not relegation, at stake.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

The loser of this match will be relegated. If it is a draw, both teams will be relegated if Wigan beat Tottenham on Saturday, or if Aston Villa avoid defeat against Sunderland on Monday.
Queens Park Rangers have only lost one of their last seven league games against Reading.
Their 1-1 draw in November was the first time they had ever met in the top flight despite 78 previous league encounters.
QPR have only managed seven wins in 39 visits to play Reading.

Reading

Reading have won only one point from a possible 27 in their last nine Premier League matches (D1, L8).
The Royals have kept only four clean sheets all season, three at home and one away.
In their defeat to Norwich last Saturday they didn't have a shot on target until Garath McCleary's goal on 72 minutes.

QPR

Harry Redknapp has won just four of his 21 Premier League games in charge at Loftus Road, meaning that he has a lower win percentage (19%) than predecessors Mark Hughes and Neil Warnock (both 20%).

They have gone three hours and five minutes without scoring.
