QPR want to get out of the bottom of the league

The English Championship is still one of the toughest leagues in the world. 24 teams, 46 games and a lot of pressure to slip straight down with a small run of not winning games makes this league so special.

Many teams have the chance to play a good role here. So do the hosts from Birmingham. Indeed, the Birmingham vs QPR prediction from the bookmakers indicates favouritism for the home side. The start of the hosts was better than that of the team from London, at the same time the form curve showed a downward trend recently.

It could be an intense game in any case. The home side will be banking on their home advantage, while the visitors will be hoping to take a step forward. Our Birmingham vs. QPR tip is that the home side will not lose and that more than 1.5 goals will be scored.

Birmingham – Statistics & current form

Birmingham City have made a solid start to the new season in the Championship, but in the last few games the worm has been in the wind a little. Three times in a row the team, which was strengthened in the summer, could not win. The mix in the squad actually seems to be very good. The squad is broad, some young players meet experienced players and there are some leading players in the line-up.

Among the best known names are goalkeeper Ruddy, defender Laird, midfielder Bielik and attacker Burke, who recently moved to Birmingham from Bremen. The last match against Preston North End, however, could not be made successful, Birmingham had to admit defeat with 1:2. It was the fourth game in a row without a win, after not losing five times before.

However, fluctuations like this are far from unusual for a Championship team. Birmingham have a similar quality to many other teams and if only a few percentage points are missing or cannot be called up completely, it is already tight. This league does not forgive weaknesses. A win now would be very important for the turnaround.

Birmingham are significantly better at home

One advantage for Birmingham this season is playing at home. They have picked up seven points in three home games and four points in four away games. The Birmingham vs QPR odds also indicate a favouritism for the home side, which is one of the reasons why. The “Brummies” must now try to be more consistent in their own performances, also away from home.

Then they could even make a move towards the promotion play-offs. The last few years have shown time and again that surprise teams can also play a role. But it wouldn’t be such a big surprise if Birmingham were to join the fight for the top places, as their moves on the transfer market in the summer were quite clever.

Individually, the home side has slight advantages, home advantage also plays a role, of course. Based on all the signs, our Birmingham vs QPR prediction before kick-off is that the home side will not lose and will score more than 1.5 goals in the process.

Predicted Birmingham line-up:

Queens Park Rangers (Expected line-up) 3-4-3

QPR – Statistics & current form

QPR once played in the Premier League, but those days are long gone. The team does not seem to be ideally put together, coach Gareth Ainsworth always has problems finding the right mix. There are some individual talents like Chair who can make the difference, but overall there is a lack of individual class compared to many teams in the league.

This is also noticeable in their record. There has been only one win from the last six games, two in the last nine. The visitors have not really played good football so far in the new season. As a result, the team has already conceded twelve goals, which is clearly too many to be able to continue to play at the top.

The team is currently in 19th place, with seven points. Another defeat would mean that the negative spiral would continue. And in the Championship, too, it won’t be easy to get out of the basement once you’re in it.

Only once without conceding a goal this season

After all, QPR have picked up both wins away from home in the new season. On the road, however, there have only been three wins away from home in the last twelve games. And once again on the defensive side: Only one of the seven games in the new season was won by zero.

Offensively, there have been some decent attempts so far, but these still need to be consolidated. In any case, the attacking line is not high on the list of problems. It is also interesting that the standard situations do not play a big role, here the necessary penetrating power is missing.

In any case, QPR knows that it can wound any opponent. Of course, this is also true for Birmingham. Therefore, our value tip before the match Birmingham vs QPR is that both teams will score. Bookmaker Bet-at-home is currently offering a voucher for new and existing customers!

Birmingham – QPR Direct comparison / H2H balance

67 games both teams played against each other so far. Birmingham won 26 times, in 24 matches QPR walked off the pitch as winners. This shows how close both teams are in the direct duel. With 82:81 goals, QPR is even ahead. Last season Birmingham celebrated two victories, both without conceding a goal.

Birmingham – QPR Tip

Birmingham are favourites ahead of this game, QPR are slightly behind individually and have yet to put in any outstanding performances this season. Twelve goals conceded is also not a very good mark.

The home side are looking a little better, but have gone three games without a win recently. Due to the omens, our Birmingham vs QPR tip is that the home side will not lose and that they will score more than 1.5 goals.
