Middlesbrough head into this clash in excellent spirits after a deserved 2–1 midweek win over Charlton, extending their winning run to three matches. We predict that they will give fans yet another reason this weekend by beating QPR with the same outcome (2-1). Despite still missing Fry, Lenihan, and Morris, Michael Carrick’s side have adapted impressively, highlighted by strong underlying numbers: 1.66 expected goals per game and 80% BTTS across their last five outings. At home, Boro have been particularly lively, averaging 3.5 total goals per match and seeing BTTS land in every fixture.
QPR, meanwhile, travel north with confidence of their own. The Hoops have won four of their last five, and although Field, Kolli, and Larkeche remain sidelined, their attacking form has compensated well. Their away displays are more inconsistent, however, with only 0.60 goals scored on average and just 20% BTTS, pointing to a clear drop-off from Loftus Road.
This fixture is historically often entertaining, with 92% of the last 24 meetings producing over 1.5 goals, this seems like a sure bet, with additional value in betting on Home Win as Middlesbrough are on a three-game winning run. Over 2.5 goals market seems tempting as well as both sides average above 2.7 total goals recently.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 15:00.
