Queens Park Rangers 1-3 West Brom

Current streaks

Recent form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers' recent form presents an interesting contrast between their competitive league matches and pre-season friendlies. The team ended their Championship campaign on a high note with three consecutive victories, including an impressive 4-0 win against Leeds United. However, they've since struggled in their pre-season friendlies, losing all three matches without scoring a goal. This stark difference highlights the potential challenges QPR may face in maintaining their competitive edge as they prepare for the new season. Despite finishing 18th in the league, their final run of form suggests they have the capacity for strong performances. The team's defensive record in their last six games is noteworthy, with only 0.83 goals conceded per game and two clean sheets, indicating a solid backline that could be a foundation for improvement in the upcoming season.

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion's recent form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a significant downturn in performance. The Baggies are currently on a worrying run of four consecutive losses, which is particularly noteworthy. Their only victory in the last six matches came against Peterborough, sandwiched between two sets of defeats. The team's defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and failing to keep a single clean sheet in this period. Offensively, they've also been underwhelming, scoring just 0.83 goals per game. The recent friendly against Birmingham City stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, with West Brom on the wrong end of a 4-1 scoreline. Despite their current 5th place position in the league, this pre-season form could be a cause for concern as they approach the new campaign.

Recent home/away form

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six games resulting in three wins and three losses. Notably, they are currently on a two-game losing streak in friendly matches against Premier League opposition. However, in their competitive Championship fixtures, QPR displayed strong form, winning three out of their last four home games. The standout performance was a high-scoring 4-0 victory against Leeds United, which is particularly impressive given their average of 1.17 goals scored per game. Defensively, QPR have been relatively solid at home, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding an average of just one goal per game. The majority of their recent home games (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting tight, low-scoring affairs are common at Loftus Road.

West Brom

West Brom's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team currently on a concerning five-game losing streak on the road. Their defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 15 goals in their last six away matches, averaging 2.5 goals conceded per game. The team has failed to keep a clean sheet during this period and has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their overall 5th place finish in the league, West Brom's recent away performances have been disappointing, scoring only 5 goals in 6 games (0.83 per game) while conceding at a much higher rate. The 4-1 loss to Birmingham City in a friendly stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities away from home.
