Prediction published on 04/03/2024, 14:00  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

The resurging Queens Park Rangers will look to trip another top-half team as West Bromwich Albion visit London. This Championship matchday 36 will be played at the Loftus Road Stadium on Wednesday. The hosts are 19th in the standings with 38 points, while the visitors are fifth with 59 points. The hosts are coming off a 2-1 win over Leicester, a result that has brought the contenders into the title race. As for the Rangers, they are above the relegation zone only on goal difference. In fact, as many as five teams are separated by three points, and six are vying for the last safe spot, separated by a single point. Hopes of staying on the right side of that relegation battle rest on improving their home form. QPR have won and drawn two games each in their last four competitive home matches.

West Brom are four points above seventh-placed Norwich as the battle for playoff spots intensifies. The Baggies are also coming off a win like their hosts, a 2-1 win over Coventry at the weekend. That keeps them to just one loss across seven league games. Yet, they haven’t been able to post consecutive wins in this calendar year. History is at least sympathetic to their cause, as they lost only one of their last nine league games against QPR, winning six and drawing two. The tricky part for the visitors is to improve their form, which hasn’t been up to scratch. West Brom have failed to win five of their last six away league games, with that win coming at Portsmouth.
