Queens Park Rangers hosts Brentford in round 30 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 17th at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium (London)
QPR is not without ambition. But it has not managed to return to the Premier League for quite a long time. Moreover, the Hoops took a place at the bottom of the standings in the previous season (13th line). Not everything was good in the current tournament, and for a long time the club risked getting involved in the struggle for survival. But it seems that now Mark Warburton and his charges shouldn’t worry too much at least about relegation. Since the end of November, Queens Park Rangers had not won in 10 matches in a row. But after the New Year, the club managed to hold a powerful segment and gained a range of victories (1-0 with Blackburn was the 4th success in the last five games). This streak helped the Hoops to move to 17th place in the standings.

The Bees have never played in the Premier League. In general, they haven't played at the level of the country's elite division for a long time. Brentford was close to promotion in the previous season. It took 3rd place but lost in the playoff final. We often saw a recession after such successes, but Thomas Frank managed to keep his charges in good shape. And Watkins, who left for Aston Villa, was brilliantly replaced by Ivan Toney, who came from Peterborough from League One. Beyond that, Brentford managed to reach a record semifinal round in the League Cup, where it lost to Tottenham. But now the Bees can finally focus on fighting in the Championship. There are at least three good candidates for two places that give a direct ticket to the Premier League. And enervation may lead to ominous consequences. Is a 0-2 defeat to Barnsley going to be a good slap in the face, or is it a sign of the favorite's decline?
Queens Park Rangers beat Brentford back in 2018. After that, the Bees showed one hundred percent statistics, having won both games in 2019 and 2020. In November, the clubs exchanged goals before half-time, and Toney scored the decisive goal in the second half. After a 0-2 defeat to the Tykes, Brentford should come back down to earth and show its level again. We will bet on its victory.
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win
