Queens Park Rangers and West Bromwich Albion go head-to-head at the Loftus Road Stadium in round 36 of the EFL Championship on Wednesday.
Marti Cifuentes’ men have turned a corner since the start of the year and will be looking to continue their push away from the relegation zone.
Queens Park Rangers picked up one of their biggest results of the season last weekend when they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over league leaders Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Cifuentes’ side have now won three games on the trot, scoring five goals and conceding twice since a 2-1 loss at Stoke City on February 14.
This fine run of results has seen Queens Park Rangers surge from the doldrums as they now sit 19th in the Championship table, albeit above the relegation zone on goal difference.
West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, continued their push for a playoff spot last time out as they secured a 2-1 victory over Coventry City at the Hawthorns.
The Baggies have now gone unbeaten in six of their seven matches since the start of February, claiming four wins and two draws in that time.
With 59 points from 35 matches, West Brom are currently fifth in the league table, four points above seventh-placed Norwich City just outside the playoff places.
