Queens Park Rangers are coming into this match with a mixed bag of results, showing they can be competitive but also vulnerable. Their recent wins against Blackburn Rovers and Hull City suggest they have the firepower to challenge West Bromwich Albion, especially at home. However, their losses to Norwich City and Southampton indicate a need for defensive solidity. If QPR can harness their attacking flair while tightening up at the back, they could pose a real threat.

West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, have shown resilience with their recent win against Swansea City and a draw against Birmingham City. Their ability to score goals is evident, but their away form has been less convincing, as seen in their loss to Charlton Athletic. This match could be closely contested, with both teams looking to exploit each other's weaknesses. The key will be which team can maintain their composure and capitalise on their opportunities

Queens Park Rangers have had a rollercoaster of a season recently, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five matches. Their victories against Blackburn Rovers and Hull City show they can grind out results when needed, but the losses to Norwich City and Southampton highlight areas for improvement, particularly in defence. This mixed form could give them the confidence to push forward but also the awareness that they need to be more consistent.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 1-3 vs Norwich City (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Blackburn Rovers (A)
• Win: 3-2 vs Hull City (H)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Sheffield United (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Southampton (H)

West Bromwich Albion have shown a decent run of form, securing two wins, a draw, and two losses in their recent outings. Their home win against Swansea City and the draw against Birmingham City demonstrate their ability to perform well at home. However, their away form, as seen in the loss to Charlton Athletic, suggests they need to be more robust on the road. This form could give them the momentum to challenge Queens Park Rangers, but they'll need to be wary of their away struggles.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-2 vs Swansea City (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Birmingham City (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs Coventry City (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Oxford United (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Charlton Athletic (A)

• Predicted lineup: Nardi (GK), Mbengue (DF), Dunne (DF), Cook (DF), Field (DF), Madsen (MF), Varane (MF), Dembélé (MF), Saito (MF), Chair (MF), Burrell (AT)

Queens Park Rangers are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Nardi in goal and a back four of Dunne, Cook, Field, and Mbengue. This setup should allow them to maintain a solid defensive structure while enabling Dembélé, Chair, and Saito to support the lone striker Burrell in attack.

• Predicted lineup: Griffiths (GK), Gilchrist (DF), Mepham (DF), Bielik (DF), Styles (DF), Molumby (MF), Mowatt (MF), Iling-Junior (MF), Price (MF), Johnston (MF), Heggebø (AT)

West Bromwich Albion are likely to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Griffiths between the posts and a defensive line of Mepham, Bielik, Styles, and Gilchrist. This formation should provide a balanced approach, allowing Molumby and Mowatt to anchor the midfield while Price, Iling-Junior, and Johnston support the lone striker Heggebø.

• Burrell vs Mepham: Burrell's pace and finishing will be tested against Mepham's defensive solidity.

• Saito vs Mowatt: Saito's creativity in midfield will face a stern challenge from Mowatt's ball-winning abilities.

• Varane (Queens Park Rangers): Varane's versatility in midfield will be crucial for QPR's control and transition play.

• Johnston (West Bromwich Albion): Johnston's dynamism in midfield could be the key to unlocking QPR's defence.
