Supercomputer predicts if West Brom will stay top of Championship in QPR showdown

West Bromwich Albion face Queens Park Rangers in the Championship on Saturday.

The Hawthorns will host the Hoops on 12 September, with James Morrison's team certainly looking to keep their place at the top of the table.

While the Albion will be without Mikey Johnston, Nolan Galves and Brayann Pereira, they may have enough on the afternoon to get the three points.

With West Brom boasting a dominant record against QPR, Morrison will be confident about getting the better of Julien Stephan.

While the Black Country outfit did lose to the West London club last season at MATRADE Loftus Road Stadium, that can be considered an anomaly.

The momentum is on the West Midlands team's side, and fans in B71 should be expecting another positive result.

Supercomputer predicts West Brom vs QPR result

West Brom's hopes of Premier League promotion have been boosted after their performances at the start of the season.

The Baggies are expected to continue their fine run of form in the league against QPR.

Opta's supercomputer has given the Albion a 46 per cent chance of getting the victory, making them the favourites.

As for the West London club, their chances of winning stand at 28 per cent, while the possibility of a draw is 25 per cent.

The Albion have lost just two of their last 14 games against QPR.

At home, the Black Country outfit haven't lost to the Hoops since the 2014-15 Premier League season, and could make it eight games unbeaten with a win or a draw at The Hawthorns.

Why James Morrison will be confident vs QPR

Harry Whitwell was the casualty after Pereira's red card against Derby County and he will certainly have the bit between his teeth for QPR's trip to The Hawthorns.

Isaac Price has also continued his fine form since the start of the season, with the two young midfielders key to Morrison's success so far.

Stephan's team have lost and drawn their last two Championship matches.

As for the Albion, after setbacks against Newcastle United and Middlesbrough, they've bounced back with a three-game unbeaten run.

The positive atmosphere around B71 will surely give the Baggies an extra edge as they sit top of the table after six matches.
