West Bromwich Albion form

West Bromwich Albion, under the management of Carlos Corberan, have had a mixed start to the new season as they aim to improve on their previous ninth-placed finish in the Championship. Currently sitting in ninth place with 17 points from their first 12 matches, they entered the first international break in September with seven points from five matches. After returning to action, they went on a five-match unbeaten run, including a 4-0 away win against Preston North End. However, they suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Birmingham City in October. In their most recent match, a goalless draw against Plymouth Argyle, they climbed to ninth place in the standings. With only a two-point gap separating them from the top six, West Brom will aim to return to winning ways in their upcoming home match to solidify their position in the league.

West Bromwich Albion Predicted Lineup

Palmer; Kipre, Bartley, Townsend; Furlong, Mowatt, Yokuslu, Phillips; Wallace, Thomas-Asante, Diangana

Queens Park Rangers form

Queens Park Rangers, who are eager to improve their position in the division, will face a tough challenge in Tuesday's game. They currently sit four points away from safety after their first 12 matches. After finishing in 20th place in the previous season, only six points above the relegation zone, the R's are determined to avoid relegation again under the management of Gareth Ainsworth. However, their start to the season has been disappointing, with only eight points earned so far. Out of their two victories, the most recent one occurred in early September. Since then, they have only managed to add two more points to their tally in seven attempts, resulting in four consecutive losses leading up to Tuesday's match. Prior to the break, they suffered defeats against Coventry City, Leeds United, and Blackburn Rovers, with the latter being a devastating 4-0 loss. Their return to action against Huddersfield Town on Saturday ended in another defeat, despite a goal from Jake Clarke-Salter. The hosts had already secured a 2-0 lead within the first 15 minutes. With QPR now trailing by four points after just 12 games, both Ainsworth and the squad are feeling the pressure and are determined to secure their third win of the season to avoid falling further behind in the battle for survival.

Queens Park Rangers Predicted Lineup

Begovic; Kakay, Dunne, Clarke-Salter; Cannon, Field, Colback, Paal; Dozzell; Armstrong, Chair

West Bromwich Albion vs Queens Park Rangers Expert Tips

Despite not demonstrating consistent performance or regular goal scoring this season, West Bromwich Albion should have confidence in their ability to achieve a victory on Tuesday when they play at home against a QPR team that lacks confidence and momentum due to a poor start under Ainsworth. We believe that the Baggies, who possess superior skills, will outperform their struggling visitors, who have faced challenges in both offensive and defensive aspects of the game this season. We expect only one of the two teams to score with under 2.5 goals overall in the game.
