Prediction: 1-0
QPR
Middlesbrough will be looking to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon. The Boro have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Cameron Archer, who has found his goal-scoring touch in recent weeks, whereas defender Matt Clarke has yet to overcome a back problem.
The Hoops, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Sunderland, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side this time out. All Balogun, Dykes, Richards, Roberts, and Willock should miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting side. Experienced midfielder Stefan Johansen is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Paddy McNair):
Following in the footsteps of his compatriot Jonny Evans, Paddy McNair joined the Manchester United academy in 2011 and he was surprisingly handed first team debut by Louis van Gaal at the start of the 2014/2015 season.
Despite his fragile age, the talented central defender has been putting in some very mature performances ever since, and everything suggests he could go on to become an important player at Old Trafford in years to come. After representing a number of youth sides, McNair made his first appearance for the Northern Ireland senior national team in a March 2015 friendly vs Scotland, before making another three outings as his side secured their place at the Euro 2016 finals.
Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill surprisingly played McNair in holding midfield in the March 2016 friendly vs Wales. After the youngster impressed in the middle of the park, O’Neill went on to suggest that the Manchester United starlet may be used in midfield rather than defence in years to come in the national team.
Highlighted Team (QPR):
Queens Park Rangers are well known as QPR. The capital club was founded in 1886 and Loftus Road Stadium is QPR’s ground. Loftus Road Stadium was opened in 1904 and the capacity of the venue 18,439. However, it has to be noted that no less than 35,353 spectators watched the game between QPR and Leeds on 27 April, 1974.
The Hoops finished the 1975/1976 First Division campaign in second position in the standings, just behind champions Liverpool. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but Queens Park Rangers made it to the FA Cup final in 1982 as well.
QPR were beaten by fellow capital club Tottenham Hotspur in the title game, but they did well to lift the League Cup trophy in 1967. Queens Park’s main rivals are Brentford, Chelsea and Fulham, but other clubs based in London are considered QPR’s rivals as well. The colour of QPR’s shirts is blue and white.
