QPR will be full of confidence when they take on Middlesbrough after putting together back-to-back victories over Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City. The Hoops have shown significant improvement in the final third under Julen Stephan, producing 2.75 xG and 20 attempts in their 2-1 win over Cardiff. Rumarn Burrell will be the man to watch after his brace in midweek, while QPR have won 60% of their last 10 home matches and average 1.40 goals per game at Loftus Road.
Middlesbrough, meanwhile, head into the match after a 1-1 draw with Burnley and will once again rely on summer signing Will Lankshear, who has already started to repay the faith placed in him. There are no fresh injury concerns for the visitors, although their away record has been modest, with just 20% wins across their last 10. Boro have nevertheless scored in 80% of those matches.
Both teams have scored in 80% of Middlesbrough’s last 10 matches and with QPR looking sharp up front, Both Teams to Score betting option should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 15:00.
