- Competition: Championship
- Date: Saturday, 10th August 2024
- Kickoff: 12:30 UK/13:30 CEST
- Venue: Loftus Road (London)
With August heating up, we will have more and more leagues starting every week. One of the competitions that starts this weekend is the English Championship.
QPR had many problems last season as they finished with only six points more than the relegation zone. This season, QPR should have a similar level of quality to the previous season, so Marti Cifuentes' team again should have the only goal to avoid the drop zone. During the preseason, QPR recorded two wins and three losses. In the last match, they lost 1-0 against Brighton.
WBA had a good previous season, finishing fifth on the table and having the chance for promotion via the playoffs. However, Carlos Corberan's team lost against Southampton, and the dream was over. Most pundits see the WBA as a mid-table team for the upcoming season, so the fans should lower their expectations. WBA was struggling during the preseason, ending with one win and five losses. In the previous match, WBA lost 4-1 against Birmingham.
QPR vs WBA pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both teams struggled in the last preseason matches. QPR didn't score any goals in the previous three friendly games, while WBA scored only one goal during the same span.

QPR team news
QPR could be better than the previous season. They made one big transfer with Zan Celar's addition. The Slovenian forward scored 21 goals in all competitions for the Swiss Lugano last season. The important signings should also be goalkeeper Paul Nardi (who came from Gent), midfielder Jonathan Varane (Sporting Gijon), and right-back Hevertton (Estrela).

WBA team news
WBA is probably weaker than the last season as too many important players from the previous season (Brandon Thomas-Asante, Okay Yokuslu, Cedric Kipre, Nathaniel Chalobah, and Conor Townsend) left the team. The replacements that came into the club are not that level, and WBA could have problems if they don't make a few more transfers in the rest of August.
