QPR Show Signs They Can Hold Firm Away

Birmingham sit third after ten games while QPR stand eighth after nine. QPR have drawn four of their last five league outings and kept concessions low on the road at 0.8 goals per game. Birmingham score 2.2 goals per home match yet also concede 1.4 in those fixtures. Each side has claimed four wins in the last ten head to head meetings with two draws. Seven of Birmingham’s ten games have produced three or more goals and both teams have scored in seven of them. QPR have scored in six of their nine matches overall. The main risk to a QPR result lies in whether Birmingham can break down their compact shape early at St Andrews.
