• Fixture: Norwich vs QPR
• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Carrow Road

Norwich will be looking to bounce back from a string of inconsistent results, with their recent form showing a mix of draws and losses. The predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should provide them with a solid defensive structure, while players like Sargent and Schwartau could be key in breaking down QPR's defence. However, their lack of recent wins might affect their confidence going into this match.

QPR, on the other hand, have shown more positive momentum with two wins in their last five games. Their predicted lineup suggests a balanced approach, with Saito and Burrell leading the attack. If they can maintain their recent form, they might have the edge over Norwich, who have struggled to secure victories lately.

Match Prediction: Norwich 1-2 QPR

Norwich's recent form has been inconsistent, with only two draws and three losses in their last five matches. This lack of wins could impact their confidence and momentum going into the game against QPR. They will need to find a way to turn their performances into positive results if they hope to compete effectively.

Recent Championship Results:

• Draw: 1-1 vs Oxford United (H)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Birmingham (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Leicester (H)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Hull City (H)

QPR have shown better form in their recent matches, securing two wins, one draw, and two losses. This suggests they are in a stronger position compared to Norwich, with a bit of momentum on their side. Their ability to win away at Blackburn and at home against Hull City indicates they could pose a significant challenge for Norwich.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Blackburn (A)
• Win: 3-2 vs Hull City (H)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Sheffield Utd (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Southampton (H)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Ipswich (H)

The head-to-head record between Norwich and QPR shows a closely contested rivalry, with the most recent match ending in a 1-1 draw. QPR had the upper hand in their previous league encounter, winning 3-0 in December 2024. However, Norwich have also shown they can compete, securing a 1-0 victory in their home game in 2023. This suggests that the upcoming match could be another tight affair.

• Predicted lineup: Kovačević (GK), Stacey (DF), Darling (DF), McConville (DF), Fisher (DF), McLean (MF), Topić (MF), Makama (MF), Marcondes (MF), Schwartau (MF), Sargent (AT)

Norwich's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should provide a solid defensive base with McConville and Darling at the heart of it. The attacking trio of Marcondes, Schwartau, and Sargent will be crucial in breaking down QPR's defence and creating scoring opportunities.

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

QPR's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will likely see Mbengue and Cook anchoring the defence, providing stability at the back. The attacking threat will come from Saito and Burrell, supported by the creative midfielders Dembélé and Chair, who will look to exploit any gaps in Norwich's defence.

• Josh Sargent vs Jimmy Dunne: Sargent's ability to find space and score will be tested against Dunne's defensive solidity.

• Emiliano Marcondes vs Nicolas Madsen: Marcondes' creativity in midfield will be crucial against Madsen's tenacity and ball-winning skills.

• Oscar Schwartau (Norwich): Schwartau's role in midfield will be vital for Norwich, providing both defensive cover and attacking impetus.

• Koki Saito (QPR): Saito's pace and finishing could be the difference-maker for QPR in their attack.
