Marti Cifuentes has lifted QPR out of the relegation zone with some fine results.

- Plymouth have lost their last five home matches to nil
- QPR are unbeaten in their last four away games
- Recommended bet: QPR to win

There is a huge Championship relegation battle set for Home Park on Tuesday when 19th-placed Plymouth host a QPR side two places and two points better off than them.

The fight to avoid dropping into League One has been a fascinating one and while Rotherham's relegation has already been confirmed, Sheffield Wednesday in 23rd are just two points behind the Pilgrims.

A victory for either side at Home Park would provide a massive survival boost and it is the R's who could be heading back to the capital with a priceless victory.

Team news

Plymouth have a full squad to choose from for this clash, with Alfie Devine back in contention after serving his one-match suspension last time out.

Taylor Richards and Rayan Kolli are both getting closer to returning from injury for Rangers, although this match will likely come too soon for the duo.

Neil Dewsnip has recently been placed in interim charge of Plymouth

The stats

Interim head coach Neil Dewsnip guided Plymouth to a 1-0 victory over rock-bottom Rotherham in his first game in charge last time out, ending their six-game run without a win.

The Pilgrims have lost their last five fixtures at Home Park, failing to score in all of those, while their tally of 34 goals conceded at home is the worst record in the division.

QPR's three-game unbeaten streak came to an end at home to Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday.

The R's have collected 10 points from the last 12 on offer on the road, winning three and drawing one, while they have suffered just one defeat from their last seven away assignments.

Prediction

This a huge clash in the relegation battle, will have a huge impact on who stays up this season and it is a fixture that QPR look capable of winning based on recent performances.

The R's have been solid on the road, beating Bristol City, Leicester and Swansea, as well as drawing at Sunderland, to lift themselves out of the bottom three and up to 17th place.

Marti Cifuentes deserves huge credit for the job he has done and his side can take another step towards safety by getting the better of Plymouth, who barely scraped past Rotherham last time out.

The Pilgrims may have tasted success in Dewsnip's first game at the helm, but the display was far from convincing and a dismal home record of late suggests more misery is coming their way.
