QPR vs Brentford: Prediction, how to watch, live stream, time, h2h - Championship preview

QPR welcome Championship high-fliers Brentford to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in tonight’s west London derby.

The Bees saw their 21-game unbeaten league run ended by Barnsley on Sunday and will be looking to bounce back as they continue their push for automatic promotion, following last season’s playoff final defeat.

QPR, meanwhile, are on an excellent run of form under Mark Warburton, having won four of their last five in the league, but are by no means out of the woods as far as relegation is concerned, currently sitting just five points clear of the drop zone.

Date, kick-off time and venue

QPR vs Brentford is scheduled for a 7pm kick-off today, February 17, 2021.

The match will be played behind closed doors at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium because of current coronavirus restrictions.

How to watch

TV channel: The match will not be broadcast live on TV, but goal updates and highlights will feature on Sky Sports’ Soccer Special programme.

Live stream: Subscribers can stream the game live via both clubs’ iFollow platforms.

Prediction: QPR 1-2 Brentford

Thomas Frank has promised that his side will come flying out of the traps after their defeat to Barnsley, while QPR should be well-rested after their game against Rotherham was postponed at the weekend.

That should make for an entertaining game, with the Bees possibly coming out on top.

Head to head

QPR wins: 23

Draws: 24

Brentford wins: 30
