QPR ace says he believes they can beat Leeds this weekend.
QPR defender Toni Leistner says he believes they can beat Leeds United in the FA Cup this weekend.
Leistner told the club’s official website that he was encouraged by the club’s recent performance against Leeds in which they pushed the Whites all the way.
QPR narrowly lost 2-1 at Elland Road on that occasion due to a Kemar Roofe brace.
This time QPR have home advantage and Leistner is confident of a win.
He said: “We played Leeds a few weeks ago and it was a tough game but we did well and could have got something.
“This weekend it’s a cup game and everything can happen.
“I think we can beat Leeds but we have to prepare well.”
QPR could benefit from Leeds rotating their side this weekend as they look to rest key players with their promotion challenge in mind.
Leeds have lost two games in a row and seen their lead at the top of the Championship cut to just two points.
QPR sit ninth in the Championship, just four points back from the play-offs.
