Explore Coral's detailed preview for West Brom vs QPR in the Championship. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:45 GMT match.

West Brom will be looking to bounce back after a string of disappointing results, including a recent loss to Bristol City. With their predicted 4-2-3-1 formation, they might focus on utilising the pace and creativity of players like Johnston and Price to break down QPR's defence. Grant's role in midfield could be crucial in providing the necessary link between defence and attack.
QPR, on the other hand, come into this match with a more positive run of form, having secured a victory against West Brom in their last encounter. Their 4-4-2 setup suggests a balanced approach, with Madsen and Varane likely to control the midfield. Given their recent performances, QPR might have the edge, but West Brom's home advantage could make for a closely contested match.
West Brom's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five matches. Their most recent loss at home to Bristol City might have dented their confidence, but a previous victory against Sheffield United shows they are capable of performing well. This mixed bag of results could make their performance unpredictable, but they will be eager to turn things around on their home turf.
Recent Championship Results:
QPR have shown a more positive trend in their recent results, securing three wins and a draw in their last five games.
