On Saturday, QPR and West Brom will compete for three points in an EFL Championship game. The host team enters the match off of a scoreless draw against Norwich City on Wednesday.
West Brom defeated Blackpool 1-0 at home to earn the maximum number of points. Okay Yokuslu’s goal with five minutes left in the game proved to be the deciding factor. The victory allowed the Baggies to move off the bottom of the standings, but they are still three points from being in the clear. With 31 points from 18 games, QPR is in fourth place.
Prediction
After seven years away, QPR has high hopes of securing a return to the Premier League. A victory here will increase the Rs’ prospects of securing one of the automatic promotion berths because they have a game in hand over the top two teams in the Championship. West Brom’s terrible run of three straight losses was broken by their victory in the middle of the week, but they still remain in the relegation zone. The Baggies are a top-tier team in the league, but due to their poor play, they are in danger of being dropped to League One for the first time since 1991. We predict QPR to win by a slim margin with goals at both ends.
Prediction: West Brom 2-1 QPR

50 battles between the two sides have already taken place. While West Brom prevailed 22 times, QPR only managed 17 victories.
