Prediction: 2-1
QPR
WBA will be aiming to climb to automatic promotion places when they take on Queens Park Rangers at the Hawthorns on Matchday 9. The Baggies are undefeated in the 2021/2022 Championship season, but they have drawn the previous three league fixtures. Both Dara O’Shea and Matt Clarke remain in the recovery room, but there are no other absentees in the home team.
The Hoops, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Bournemouth (1-2) and Bristol City (1-2) in the previous two league fixtures. The capital club did well to eliminate Everton in the EFL Cup last 32 on Tuesday evening, with Charlie Austin scoring a brace. The experienced attacker is pushing for a start, while both Lee Wallace and Sam Field are sidelined with injuries. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Queens Park Rangers have been struggling in the Championship of late.
Highlighted Player (Branislav Ivanovic):
Over the years Branislav Ivanovic has established himself as one of the best defenders in the world football. Bane plays as a centre back, but he is capable of playing as a full back as well. The Serbian defender has been playing for Chelsea since 2008 and he used to play for the likes of Srem, OFK Beograd and Lokomotiv Moscow in the past as well.
Ivanovic leaves his heart on the field in every single match and that is the main reason why the fans love him. He is known for his aerial ability as well and it has to be noted that he has scored 22 goals for Chelsea since arriving to Stamford Bridge in 2008.
The Serbian footballer has won two Premier League trophies with the Blues, but the Champions League trophy won in 2012 is considered the biggest success of his career. Branislav is married to Natasa, who gave birth to his four children.
Highlighted Team (QPR):
Queens Park Rangers are well known as QPR. The capital club was founded in 1886 and Loftus Road Stadium is QPR’s ground. Loftus Road Stadium was opened in 1904 and the capacity of the venue 18,439. However, it has to be noted that no less than 35,353 spectators watched the game between QPR and Leeds on 27 April, 1974.
The Hoops finished the 1975/1976 First Division campaign in second position in the standings, just behind champions Liverpool. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but Queens Park Rangers made it to the FA Cup final in 1982 as well.
QPR were beaten by fellow capital club Tottenham Hotspur in the title game, but they did well to lift the League Cup trophy in 1967. Queens Park’s main rivals are Brentford, Chelsea and Fulham, but other clubs based in London are considered QPR’s rivals as well. The colour of QPR’s shirts is blue and white.
