West Bromwich Albion vs Queens Park Rangers Predictions
[wptb id=394010]
A Tactical Tussle at The Hawthorns
Key Stats
– Queens Park Rangers have only two wins this season with just eight points on the board.
– Darnell Furlong has been a standout player for the Baggies, signalling a goal threat.
Queens Park Rangers find themselves in the midst of a troubling period. Sitting uncomfortably four points behind the safety net of the Championship league, their aim on Tuesday is crystal clear: bring an end to their four-match losing streak. The daunting challenge awaiting them? A formidable West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.
While the Rangers struggled with a defeat at Huddersfield Town post the October international recess, the Baggies were content to solidify their ninth position after a stalemate against Plymouth Argyle.
The Rise of the Baggies
Carlos Corberan’s West Bromwich Albion is making strides to better their last season’s ninth position finish. Their journey so far in the league paints a picture of resilience. With 17 points from 12 matches, they managed to keep the ninth spot warm for themselves. Before the first international break in early September, they garnered seven points from five matches. Post-break, they embarked on an impressive five-match unbeaten run, with commendable performances against the likes of Bristol City, Watford, and Millwall. Not to forget their thumping 4-0 victory against the then-league leaders, Preston North End. The likes of Darnell Furlong, Alex Mowatt, Matt Phillips, and Kyle Bartley left their mark with goals.

However, their journey hasn’t been without its share of lows. A trip to Birmingham City was met with a 3-1 defeat. But they took this in stride, drawing with Plymouth Argyle on their next outing. Despite the draw, they managed to climb to the ninth spot courtesy of the losses suffered by their contemporaries.
The Rangers’ Woes
On the flip side, Queens Park Rangers are a side desperate to dig their heels in and escape the lower echelons of the league. Last season, they managed to finish 20th, only six points clear of relegation. Their current form leaves much to be desired. With just two wins from the season’s start, amassing a mere eight points, Gareth Ainsworth’s men are in dire need of a change in fortune.
Their last victory feels like an eternity ago, coming at the start of September. This was followed by a string of defeats against Coventry City, Leeds United, and a humiliating 4-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers. Their outing against Huddersfield Town only added to their misery, with Jake Clarke-Salter’s goal proving insufficient.
The Tactical Perspective
The middle of the park could be the decisive area. The duels between West Bromwich Albion’s Matt Phillips and QPR’s Jake Clarke-Salter might tip the balance in either direction. The Baggies would likely dominate possession, while QPR might opt for quick counter-attacks.
Insightful Critique
West Bromwich Albion: They need to be wary of complacency. Their recent draws indicate a lack of finishing touch in the final third.
Queens Park Rangers: Ainsworth needs to address his team’s defensive frailties urgently. Their recent losses paint a picture of a side bereft of confidence.
The Managers’ Duel
Carlos Corberan has shown adaptability in his tactics, while Gareth Ainsworth’s approach seems a tad predictable. Critiquing Ainsworth, it seems he is yet to find the right blend or inspire the confidence required for the league’s rigours.
Predictions and Gameplay
1. Match Outcome: Based on recent form and considering West Bromwich Albion’s home advantage, the prediction leans towards a win for West Bromwich Albion. Their recent performances have been more consistent, and they’ve shown resilience even when not securing three points.
2. Correct Score: Given the recent scoring trends of both teams, a 2-1 victory in favour of West Bromwich Albion seems plausible.
3. Goal Scorer: Darnell Furlong of West Bromwich Albion looks poised to get on the scoresheet, given his recent form.
4. Corners Prediction: Both teams have been aggressive, but West Bromwich Albion’s forward movements could see them earn more corners. Total corners for the match might be in the region of 8-10.
