Our prediction for this match: QPR 1 - 2 Middlesbrough
QPR vs Middlesbrough Preview
Queens Park Rangers welcome Middlesbrough to Loftus Road for an interesting Championship clash between a mid-table side and a promotion contender. As Middlesbrough aim to cement their spot in top two, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Hoops head into the match after a 2–0 loss to Sheffield United, and their recent form has been disappointing, collecting just 0.90 points per game from the last five matches. The capital club have also struggled defensively at home, conceding 2.25 goals per match, while failing to keep a single clean sheet at Loftus Road in recent games. Both Paul Smyth and Rayan Kolli are pushing for recalls as QPR attempt to bounce back.
Middlesbrough head into the match in strong spirits after a 3–1 win over Birmingham City, with Kim Hellberg’s side currently sitting 2nd in the table. Boro average 2.00 points per match and have been particularly dangerous on the road, scoring 2.00 goals per away game in matches that produce an impressive 3.83 goals on average. Their attacking numbers are backed by an expected goals figure of 1.74, highlighting their consistent chance creation.
Considering Middlesbrough's better form and stronger attacking numbers, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals (68% H2H), and Middlesbrough Over 1.5.
