Prediction: 2-1
Birmingham City
Queens Park Rangers will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless in the Championship when they take on Birmingham City on Matchday 39. The Hoops are only one point clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Friday’s clash against the fellow strugglers is of big importance for the home side. Ilias Chair is unlikely to feature against Birmingham City, while both Sinclair Armstrong and Michael Frey are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Blues, on the other hand, suffered three defeats in a row before the international break and given their poor away record in the 2023/2024 Championship campaign, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s clash. Jordan James is unlikely to start for Birmingham City after playing 120 minutes for Wales in the EURO 2024 qualifier against Poland, while Krystian Bielik and Alfie Chang remain in the recovery room.
