Match preview

Our model makes Birmingham slight favourites, giving them a 43% chance of winning against 26% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.33 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.7 goals in total (1.46 for Birmingham, 1.21 for QPR), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Birmingham sit 6th on 23 points; QPR are 9th on 20.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
