Birmingham City
- Chris Davies’ side has won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches.
- Birmingham City’s decline from potential promotion contenders to inconsistent mid-table team has been brought into sharp focus in recent weeks, with the Blues on a three-game losing run, including a 1-0 away loss at Charlton Athletic.
- Chris Davies’ team has slipped to 12th in the Championship on 49 points from 36 games.
- The Blues have lost some of their momentum at home, going winless in their last two at St Andrew’s (D1, L1).
- They remain resilient on their home turf where they have posted eight wins, seven draws and only two defeats from 17 games.
Queens Park Rangers
- QPR has won five, drawn six and lost seven of their 18 Championship away matches.
- The Rs are on a two-game losing streak after a 5-0 hammering at Southampton and 2-0 home defeat to Sheffield United.
- Julien Stephan took over at Queens Park Rangers in June 2025 and the Frenchman has tried to impose a continental, structure-first approach with an emphasis on possession and positional discipline.
- The R’s sit 16th in the table with 47 points from 35 matches, two points and four places below the hosts.
- QPR has scored 17 times in 18 away games and should be able to put up enough resistance to keep the game open.
Birmingham City
Marvin Ducksch has scored two of Birmingham’s last three goals in the past five games while Jay Stansfield, the club’s most dangerous attacking player, has bagged nine in 33 Championship matches in 2025-26 .
Queens Park Rangers
Rumarn Burrell has ten goals in 26 appearances in the league for Rangers and the R’s forward has the ability to hurt the home defence.
