Oxford remain in the relegation zone and are six points from safety
QPR are 11th ahead of kick-off, four points off the playoffs
Recommended bet: Under 2.5 goals
Oxford will hope to improve their chances of avoiding relegation from the Championship on Tuesday evening when they play host to QPR at the Kassam Stadium.
The U's are still in trouble and are 23rd in the table and they are six points from safety.
New manager Matt Bloomfield managed to secure a point in his first game in charge against Bristol City and, with visitors QPR unable to string results together, they will hope to pick up a rare win.
The R's managed to hold Stoke to a 0-0 draw on Saturday, but they need to start picking up results if they are to enter the frame for a promotion push.

Team news
Bloomfield has no new injury concerns to deal with after his first game in charge, but Jamie Donley, Ole Romeny, Brodie Spencer, James Golding, Hidde ter Avest, Nik Prelec, Przemyslaw Placheta and Tyler Goodrham are all sidelined through injury.
Rangers boss Julien Stephan has had to deal with a number of injuries for several months and he is still unable to call upon the services of Ilias Chair, Jake Clarke-Salter, Ziyad Larkeche, Liam Morrison, Rumarn Burrell, Jonathan Varane, Kwame Poku and Koki Saito.
The stats
Oxford are without a win in four games in all competitions, with their last success coming on Boxing Day when they beat Southampton 2-1.
They have only won one of their last four at the Kassam Stadium, while they have only tasted victory three times in front of their own fans this season.
QPR have won just one of their last six in all competitions, while they are also winless in their previous six on the road.
The two sides met in October and played out a goalless draw at Loftus Road.

Prediction
It is still tough to judge Oxford ahead of their second match under Bloomfield.
Last weekend they were regimented and tough to break down and their 0-0 draw against a promotion challenger is a positive step.
Like most new managers, Bloomfield is clearly eager to make his team difficult to beat and it is tough to see this game containing more than two goals.
The hosts have only scored more than one goal in a league match in one of their last eight, while the R's have failed to trouble the scoresheet in their last two outings in the Championship.
The Londoners have only scored 14 away goals in as many matches, so expect a tight and cagey affair in this midweek encounter.
