One of the issues that is still left to decide in the Championship is who will join Leeds in the Premier League next season. With just one round of games remaining, which take place on Wednesday, the race for automatic promotion is a tight one.
West Brom who face a home game with QPR at the Hawthorns, currently occupy second place. However, the Baggies are just one point clear of third-place Brentford in the race to secure top-flight status for next season.
A 2-1 defeat at struggling Huddersfield last time out means that Slaven Bilic’s team has now failed to win in three league matches.
The team from the Midlands will be hoping that the poor run doesn’t prove fatal to their hopes of securing automatic promotion this season. Despite their poor recent run, they only have to better Brentford’s result on Wednesday to go up and avoid the play-offs.
The Baggies are unbeaten in their last four home matches in the Championship. However, they have only won two of their previous five matches in the second tier at the Hawthorns.
QPR have endured a mediocre campaign in the Championship this season. The Hoops look set to finish in midtable in the second tier, as they are 13 points off the play-off spots and nine clear of the relegation zone.
The visitors recent league form has rather summed up their campaign this season in that it has been highly inconsistent. Mark Warburton’s team have won just one of their previous four games in the second tier. A 4-3 home win over Millwall ended a three-game winless run in the Championship.
Their recent away form has also been highly inconsistent, as a record of one win in their previous four league games on their travels illustrates.
Forebet predicts that West Brom will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to seal their spot in the Premier League for next season.
