Ben Brereton Diaz and Tyrese Campbell scored either side of the interval for the visitors. However, Michael Frey gave the R’s hope with a 72nd-minute penalty. United managed to cling on for maximum points with Cifuentes admitting, “We created enough chances to score but the reality of football is that it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.”
He added, “Perhaps for both goals we could have done better, but I felt the team performed at a high level and it’s a pity we didn’t get more from it. I feel very proud of my players because I felt we were dominant for many moments of the game. We really pushed a team that are performing at a really high level. I felt my players did really well.”
Sam Field missed the match and could now be out for the rest of the season after picking up an ankle injury at Portsmouth. Jake Clarke-Salter is also out with a long-term having had hip surgery.
West Brom vs QPR – Sat 08 Mar, 15:00
QPR’s contests under Marti Cifuentes have been consistently low scoring since his arrival in English football. The Spaniard has seen just one of his previous 33 away Championship dates feature four goals or more with those away days averaging just 1.93 goals per-game – 21 (66%) of those tussles even featured under 2.5 goals plays.
West Brom are renowned for their high corner counts at The Hawthorns. Albion have won 5+ corners in 88% of their outings, but the Black Country boys have also faced at least four corners in 47% of those showdowns. With QPR winning three or more corners in 76% of their away days (averaging 4.71), both sides look capable of contributing.
Total Booking Points – Under 49.5

The Baggies have been booked at least twice in 71% of those contests and face a QPR side that’s been cautioned in all of their away days thus far, hitting 2+ cards in 76% of road trips.
