A Tale of Two Teams
Key Stats
– QPR have lost their last two away matches.
– Jay Stansfield is Birmingham City’s top scorer this season with three goals.
Birmingham City and QPR face off on Friday night in a Championship clash that will see both teams looking to find some form. Birmingham have done some of their best work at home and should have the upper hand over an out-of-sorts QPR.
Team Analysis
Birmingham City
Birmingham City have made a solid enough start to the season, but they have lost their way in recent weeks and are coming off two straight defeats. The Blues were beaten 2-1 by leaders Preston North End in their previous Championship fixture, but they have been on the road in the last two matches and are returning to St Andrew’s Stadium which is yet to taste defeat in the Championship.
Birmingham have a number of talented players in their squad, including Jay Stansfield, Lukas Jutkiewicz, and Siriki Dembélé. Stansfield is the team’s top scorer this season with three goals, while Jutkiewicz and Dembélé are both experienced strikers who can score goals at this level.

The Blues also have a strong midfield, with Krystian Bielik and Juninho Bacuna providing a good balance of steel and creativity. However, they have been defensively vulnerable this season, conceding seven goals in their last four matches.
QPR
QPR have had a disappointing start to the season, claiming just two wins in seven Championship matches and are currently 19th on the standings. They travel to St Andrew’s Stadium off the back of a 1-1 draw with Swansea City in their previous Championship fixture.
QPR have a number of talented players in their squad, including Ilias Chair, Lyndon Dykes, and Chris Willock. Chair is the team’s creative hub, while Dykes and Willock are both dangerous strikers.
The Rs also have a strong midfield, with Andre Dozzell and Sam Field providing a good balance of steel and creativity. However, they have been defensively vulnerable this season, conceding 12 goals in their last four matches.
Predictions
1. Birmingham City to win
Birmingham City have a better home record than QPR have an away record this season. The Blues have also won their last two home matches, while QPR have lost their last two away matches.
Rationale:
Birmingham City are the better team on paper and they have the home advantage. They have also been in better form in recent weeks, winning their last two home matches. QPR have been poor on the road this season, losing their last two away matches.
2. Correct score: Birmingham City 2-1 QPR
Birmingham City have scored in their last three home matches, while QPR have conceded in their last two away matches. I think Birmingham City will win this match 2-1, with the visitors that should find a consolatory goal.
Rationale:
Both teams have been defensively vulnerable this season, so I think it is likely that both teams will score in this match. However, Birmingham City have been more prolific in attack this season, so I think they will score more goals than QPR.
3. Goalscorer: Jay Stansfield
Jay Stansfield is Birmingham City’s top scorer this season with three goals. He is a quick and agile striker who is good at finding space in the box. I think he has a good chance of scoring in this match.
Rationale:
Jay Stansfield is in good form this season and he is Birmingham City’s main goal threat. I think he has a good chance of scoring in this match, especially considering that QPR have been defensively vulnerable this season.
