Queens Park Rangers v West Bromwich Albion
Football : England : Championship
Saturday 6th March 2010 – Kickoff 3pm

---

QPR host high-flying West Brom at their Loftus Road ground on Saturday, both sides needing three points for very different reasons; QPR, to move away from the relegation zone, and West Brom to maintain their ambitions of an automatic promotion place.

With this in mind, I fancy that there’ll be an open free-flowing game on offer for both sets of fans, and these teams do have a good record of being involved in games Over 2.5 this season.

Queens Park Rangers (20th) Home : 5-6-4 27:22

Firstly, QPR – their home record stands at 5-6-4 27/22, with the Rangers having a 9/6 ratio of Over/Under matches in their fifteen home games so far, with a goals per game average of 3.26.

Forward Jay Simpson (11 goals) has been in good form for them, while midfielders Akos Buzsaky (7 goals, 3 assists) & Adel Taarabt (5 goals) have also made valuable contributions.

West Bromwich Albion (2nd) Away : 8-7-2 32:19

And now this is where it gets interesting – West Brom have scored more away goals than any other team in the Championship with a total of 32 goals on their travels.

In total, WBA have been involved in 51 goals in away matches, having a 11/6 ratio of Over/Under matches in their seventeen away games, with a goals per game average of 3.00.

The Baggies have numerous outlets through which they can score; Chris Brunt (9 goals), Roman Bednar (9 goals), Simon Cox (8 goals) and then there’s arguably their best player Graham Dorrans (8 goals and 15 assists) also.

The betting Verdict :

There is plenty of reasons to expect goals from both sides in this encounter.

Good Luck!
