West Brom will face off against Queens Park Rangers at the Hawthorns in their final game of 2025 in the EFL Championship. This season has been a tough one for the Baggies, who have only managed to secure eight wins out of 23 games, resulting in a total of 28 points.

In recent weeks, things have taken a turn for the worse as the West Midlands team has suffered four defeats in their last five league matches. Compared to their ninth-place finish in the Championship last season, West Brom’s performance has significantly declined this year, leaving them closer to the relegation zone than the top of the table.

One of the major challenges for head coach Ryan Mason has been the lack of attacking prowess within the team. With only 26 goals scored in 23 games, averaging just over a goal per match, West Brom has struggled to find the back of the net consistently. In fact, they have failed to score in a quarter of their matches, highlighting their struggles in the attacking third.

On the other hand, Queens Park Rangers have accumulated seven more points than West Brom and currently sit in ninth place in the Championship standings. The team has shown significant improvement recently, with only two defeats in their last nine games after losing six of their opening 14 matches.

In their head-to-head history, West Brom has won 26 out of 57 matches against QPR, with 18 losses. However, QPR secured a victory over West Brom on 6 December, ending a six-game winless streak in the fixture. The Baggies are unbeaten in their last six home games against QPR, with the visitors’ last win at the Hawthorns dating back to April 2015 in the Premier League.

Looking ahead to the prediction for the upcoming match, it is expected that Queens Park Rangers will emerge victorious, ending their ten-year wait for a victory at the Hawthorns. The prediction stands at West Brom 1-2 Queens Park Rangers.

In terms of betting tips, it is advisable to bet on Queens Park Rangers to win the match, expect over 2.5 goals to be scored, and anticipate both teams to find the back of the net.

Overall, the clash between West Brom and Queens Park Rangers promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams aiming to secure a positive result to close out the year on a high note.
