Our prediction for this Championship match:
QPR will look to recover from an embarrassing 6-1 loss to Blackpool when they take on Birmingham in the Championship round 38. The Hoops failed to impress in the midweek clash, but their Championship status is not in danger yet. Both Amos and Johansen are pushing for a start, while all Kenneth Paal, Ilias Chair, Ethan Laird, Chris Willock, Jake Clarke-Salter, and Leon Balogun remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Blues, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Watford, and given their four-game winless run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Curacao international Juninho Bacuna is back from suspension, whereas all Gary Gardner, Dion Sanderson, Troy Deeney, Josh Williams, Jobe Bellingham, Tate Campbell, and Przemyslaw Placheta remain on the sidelines with injuries.
