Birmingham host QPR at St. Andrew's Stadium in the EFL Championship on Friday, with both sides having had contrasting seasons so far.
Birmingham are currently 15th in the table, two points above the relegation zone. John Eustace's side have been in poor form of late, having won only two of their last seven games across all competitions. They will hope to bounce back with a win against QPR on Friday.
QPR, on the other hand, are currently 2nd in the league, two points off the top of the table. Michael Beale's side have been in strong form recently, having lost only two of their last ten games across all competitions. They will look to continue their form with a win against Birmingham on Friday.
Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.

Birmingham vs QPR Prediction
The two sides have been in contrasting form of late and that should come to the fore during the game on Friday.
Birmingham will be without George Friend, Marc Roberts, Przemyslaw Placheta and Nico Gordon for the game. Meanwhile, Chris Willock is a doubt for QPR.
It's hard to see Birmingham taking anything away from this game, given the difference in form and quality between the two sides. We predict a tight game, with QPR coming away with a slender victory.
