West Brom vs QPR predictions: QPR could get into the promotion playoff places
Key stats
- West Brom have lost four of their last five league fixtures.
- The hosts lost only one of their last home games (W4, D3)
- QPR won three, drew one and lost another of their last five fixtures.
- Five of QPR's last five matches returned at least three total goals.
Correct score prediction: West Brom 2-2 QPR
West Brom have had an indifferent season, and their inconsistency sees them struggling to keep in touch with the leading pack in the table. That said, there is still a lot to play for the Baggies. Despite their overall unimpressive form, they are decent at home, losing only one of their last eight fixtures in front of their fans.
The visitors, on the other hand, have enjoyed a much better season, and they will be looking to keep it that way, especially as they are unbeaten in their last two league fixtures. Nevertheless, they will be worried about their away form, as they are winless on the road in their last three outings. Considering the differing forms of both sides, this encounter could end in a 2-2 draw.

- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

West Brom Preview: The hosts to leverage home form?
As earlier stated, West Brom are enjoying a good run in front of their fans. They started a seven-game unbeaten run since September before losing 2-1 to Bristol City last time out.
Having suffered a defeat last time they played at home, they will be eager to get back to re-establishing the Hawthorns as a fortress.
