West Bromwich Albion vs Queens Park Rangers Team News
West Bromwich Albion vs Queens Park Rangers team news suggests that the home side will be in a confident mood following a solid run of form. The Baggies have secured 51 points from 34 matches and are firmly in the playoff positions. Tony Mowbray’s men have lost just twice at home this season, making The Hawthorns a fortress.
In their last outing, West Brom earned a 1-1 draw away at Leeds United, extending their unbeaten streak to four matches. With 44 goals scored and just 31 conceded, the Baggies possess both attacking firepower and defensive resilience.
Queens Park Rangers, on the other hand, are coming off a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Sheffield United. Their inconsistent performances have seen them record 11 wins, 11 draws, and 12 defeats this season. Away from home, QPR have struggled, registering just 4 wins while conceding 21 goals on their travels.
Key player Josh Maja could be instrumental for West Brom, with his ability to find the net proving crucial in recent matches. Meanwhile, QPR’s defensive frailties will be a major concern, particularly against a West Brom side that has dominated previous head-to-head encounters.
West Bromwich Albion vs Queens Park Rangers Betting Tips
