History of the Reading v Queens Park Rangers fixture

Reading prepare to entertain Queens Park Rangers at Madejski Stadium on Tuesday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 25 wins out of 38 previous matches.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Madejski Stadium was just last season, in October 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
