Prediction: 1-0
QPR
After suffering a 2-0 loss to Barnsley, Middlesbrough will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship when they take on QPR at their Riverside Stadium. The Boro’s playoffs hopes seem to be ruined, but their pride will be at stake in the remainder of the season. All Browne, Dijksteel, Fry, Morsy, and Tavernier are likely to miss the game with injuries.
The Hoops, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Coventry and Sheffield Wednesday at home, while losing to Nottingham Forest and Rotherham United on the road. QPR are not regarded as good travellers, and that is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Middlesbrough. All Amos, Carroll, and Owens are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Britt Assombalonga):
Over the years Britt Assombalonga has established himself as one of the best attackers in the Championship. If it wasn’t for injuries, Assombalonga would be producing much better showings in the English second tier, but he still makes life difficult for the opposition defenders at this level.
The DR Congo international, who was born in Kinshasa on December 6, 1992, starting his youth career at Watford. The pacey forward made only 4 appearances for the Hornets in the league before spending a couple of seasons on loan at Wealdstone, Braintree Town and Southend United. In July, 2013 Assombalonga joined Peterborough United, breaking the club’s previous transfer record (£1.1 million).
After scoring 23 goals in 43 appearances for the Posh, Britt Assombalonga moved to Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2014, signing a five-year contract with the Reds for an undisclosed fee. Three years later Assombalonga moved to Middlesbrough and he has been playing for the Riverside Stadium ever since.
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.
