West Brom vs QPR Prediction & Picks - Championship

The Hawthorns opens its doors this Saturday to host the duel between West Bromwich and QPR, on the 36th day of the Championship. It's a duel that was unbalanced at the start of the season, but the scenario should be different from kick-off. Tony Mowbray's side are sixth in the Championship, while the London club have made a remarkable climb up the table as the season has progressed. Unbeaten for 270 minutes on English soil, WBA will be hoping to make the most of a return to home soil to get back to winning ways at the final whistle. Once again, the Baggies disappoint on their travels but remain solid in front of their fans, as witnessed by their 2-0 victory over Oxford United at the end of February. It's not hard to imagine the purple-and-whites coming out on top at the end of normal time. 

Even if QPR are one of the good performers in the second half of the season, the current momentum is interesting ahead of the start of hostilities. Since the middle of last month, Rangers have racked up three defeats in four outings, all by a single goal. This means that the capital-based outfit can fight their way to a final victory, but fall apart when it comes to making the difference, especially away from home. Quite simply, if the visitors don't put in an XXL performance on both sides of the pitch against a playoff contender, the bad run is likely to continue on Saturday afternoon...
