Queens Park Rangers will look to build on their weekend victory over West Bromwich Albion when they welcome Birmingham City to Loftus Road on Tuesday night.
How to watch QPR vs Birmingham Stream on TV
The Championship fixture kicks off at 20:00 GMT and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event. QPR enter the contest in strong form, while the visitors are seeking a response after another difficult away performance.
QPR have enjoyed a positive run in recent weeks, taking maximum points from three of their last four matches. Wins over Hull City and Blackburn Rovers set the tone before a setback at Norwich, but the R’s responded impressively on Saturday with a 3-1 home victory against West Brom. Goals from Jonathan Varane and a second-half brace from Rumarn Burrell ensured the West London club stayed within touching distance of the play-off positions.
That result lifted QPR to tenth in the table, just two points outside the top six. With momentum on their side, they will take confidence from their recent record against Birmingham at Loftus Road. QPR have won two of the last three home meetings between the sides, including a 2-1 victory in March 2024.
Birmingham, meanwhile, sit level on points with QPR but only hold a narrow advantage on goal difference. Their mood will be less optimistic after a 3-1 defeat at Southampton on Saturday. The Blues conceded twice in the first half before Demarai Gray briefly pulled a goal back early in the second, only for Adam Armstrong to restore Southampton’s cushion soon after.
The loss extended Birmingham’s winless away run to four matches, with three defeats and one draw during that period. Chris Davies and his players now face a difficult trip to West London as they attempt to secure their first away victory since beating Preston North End 1-0 on October 1.
One of Birmingham’s main issues on the road has been their inability to start strongly. They have scored the opening goal in just one of their ten Championship away matches this season, often leaving themselves with too much to do in the second half.
QPR will hope to take advantage of that vulnerability as they push for a second consecutive win and continue their climb toward the play-off positions. With both sides still firmly in the hunt for a top-six finish, Tuesday’s encounter promises to be significant in shaping the emerging battle for promotion.
