Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Queens Park Rangers at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 7 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was just last season, in August 2003, the Seagulls carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Brighton & Hove Albion's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Seagulls have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 8 matches. Q.P.R. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 11 points from their 8 games played so far,
