The Hawthorns is set to host what promises to be an intriguing Championship showdown when West Bromwich Albion welcome Queens Park Rangers on March 8, 2025. Tony Mowbray's Baggies will be keen to leverage their strong home record, having won three of their last five matches on familiar turf. That's a pretty decent run, isn't it? With a 60% win rate at home compared to their overall 30% success across all venues, The Hawthorns has clearly been something of a fortress this season. They've banged in 10 goals while conceding just 5 in those home fixtures.Meanwhile, QPR under Marti Cifuentes have been something of a Jekyll and Hyde outfit. They've managed four wins in their last ten but haven't drawn a single one of those games. Win or lose, that's the QPR way at the moment! Their away form has been particularly troublesome, with just two victories from their last six road trips.

West Brom's recent run has been patchy at best. A nice win against Sheffield Wednesday (2-1) at home was quickly followed by a disappointing 0-2 defeat to Blackburn in their own backyard. Not what the doctor ordered!They've also struggled on their travels, as shown by their 2-1 loss at Plymouth. With just 14 goals scored and 16 conceded in their last 10 games, finding consistency has been Mowbray's biggest headache.QPR, on the other hand, have shown flashes of brilliance. Their thumping 4-0 victory over Derby was eye-catching, and they followed it up with a solid 2-1 win against Blackburn. Their away form has seen some positives too, with wins at both Hull and Plymouth in January. Can they add West Brom to that list?

If past meetings are anything to go by, West Brom fans have reason for optimism. The head-to-head record heavily favors the home side, with the Baggies winning 10 of their previous encounters compared to QPR's 5 victories, while 6 matches ended in draws.The goal count also tells a story – West Brom have netted 40 times against QPR's 30 in their shared history. Remember their last dance? It was just last August when West Brom traveled to London and came away with a convincing 3-1 win.Interesting, though – QPR seem to perform better when they're expected to win. They've upheld their favorite status in 75% of matches where they were tipped to succeed, compared to West Brom's more modest 42.86% in their favored fixtures. Food for thought, eh?

With West Brom given a 54.2% chance of victory compared to QPR's 19.8% (with a 26.1% probability of a draw), the bookies clearly see the Baggies as favorites. But football matches aren't played on paper, are they?The clash will likely hinge on whether West Brom can harness their home advantage. Those 10 goals scored in just 5 home games show they know where the net is at The Hawthorns. But QPR have shown they can spring surprises on the road, with those away wins at Hull and Plymouth demonstrating they're no pushovers. Cifuentes has his team playing with freedom away from home pressure.The Hawthorns crowd will be in full voice for this one. Will they be celebrating come the final whistle? Or will the Rangers faithful be the ones making all the noise on the journey back to London? Championship football – you just can't beat it for drama!
