The Hawthorns plays host to a Championship clash on September 12, 2026, as West Bromwich Albion welcome Queens Park Rangers. The Baggies, despite a modest 28% win rate this season (13W 14D 19L), enter this fixture with a more encouraging recent run, having secured two wins, two draws, and just one defeat in their last five outings. Their ability to find the net has been a concern, with 48 goals scored against 58 conceded.
In contrast, QPR arrive in dire straits. While their overall win rate of 35% (16W 10D 20L) is slightly better than West Brom's, their recent form is alarming, registering one draw and four losses in their last five matches. The R’s have scored more goals (61) but are significantly more vulnerable defensively, having shipped 73. Head-to-head encounters suggest a competitive rivalry, with West Brom winning two of the last five, QPR also winning two, and one draw. Given QPR’s current struggles, West Brom will fancy their chances, reflected in the 45% home win probability, mirroring the draw probability, with QPR’s chances rated at just 10%. Expect a cautious approach from QPR, potentially focusing on damage limitation, while West Brom will look to capitalize on their opponent's defensive frailties.
