QPR lost 1-0 to fellow promotion hopefuls Blackburn Rovers last weekend, with Mark Warburton taking the blame for not freshening up his team.
It is now just one win in six matches for the West London side, whose hopes of breaking into the top two are now all but gone.
The Hoops travel to fellow playoff contenders Luton Town and Nottingham Forest over the next two weeks, so a win this weekend would be a crucial platform to build on.
Warburton’s side are unbeaten in seven matches at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in all competitions and are the third-highest scorers in the Championship this season.
However, they have conceded the most goals in the top half of the division, shipping 39 in 34 matches.
Entertainment could be high in this game then, as Cardiff are the third-highest scorers away from home in the Championship but they also have the third-worst defence on the road. The Bluebirds have recorded just one win in eight away matches in all competitions.

Substitute Uche Ikpeazu scored an 85th-minute winner to beat Derby County 1-0 on Tuesday night and secure Cardiff’s first win four games.
It was announced after the win that manager Steve Morison had signed a contract extension until the summer of 2023, a reward for dragging the Bluebirds away from relegation danger.
The Welsh side have lost their last four matches against QPR, with Andre Gray scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory for the Hoops in this season’s reverse fixture
