West Brom vs QPR Prediction

West Brom boosted their promotion hopes with a memorable draw at table-toppers Leeds United last weekend, which ended the West Yorkshire outfit's five-game winning run and saw the Baggies hold on to the final playoff spot.

QPR, for their part, have blown hot and cold in the last few weeks, with three losses in their last five games, winning two. Their games tend to be cagey affairs, and they haven't won at the Hawthorns since 2015.

Hence, expect West Brom to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
