Bristol City vs QPR prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Bristol City host QPR at Ashton Gate in the EFL Championship on Thursday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Bristol City are currently 18th in the league, eight points above the relegation zone. Nigel Pearson's side have been in inconsistent form of late, having won only two of their last five games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against QPR.

QPR, on the other hand, have faltered of late, and will be heading into the game off the back of two consecutive losses. Mark Warburton's side are currently seventh in the league, six points off the top four. They will look to bounce back with a win against Bristol on Thursday.

Both sides will want to win the game in order to climb up the table and that should make for an interesting matchup.
