Middlesbrough vs QPR – Middlesbrough supporters will be hoping for a repeat of their most recent performance, a 1-3 Championship triumph against Cardiff City.
Middlesbrough had 62% of the possession in that game and made 11 attempts on goal, scoring on three of them. Marcus Forss, Cameron Archer, and Riley McGree all scored goals for Middlesbrough in the first half.
Cardiff City had 15 attempts at goal, four of which were successful. Cardiff City’s goal came from Sory Kaba (at 25′). In their previous six games, Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough have scored 10 goals. In contrast, throughout that same period, eight goals have been scored against them.
This game’s form guide indicates that Middlesbrough have lost each of their last seven league games to Queens Park Rangers and are unbeaten in their last seven domestic league games.
QPR will be looking to rebound after suffering a loss to Sunderland in Championship play the previous time they played.
Queens Park Rangers had 55% of the possession in that game and 2 of their 7 shot attempts were successful. Eight of Sunderland’s 12 shots on goal were on target. Sunderland scored with Jack Clarke (82′, 92′) and Luke O’Nien (34′).
The numbers don’t lie; QPR has been scored against in six of their last six games, with 12 goals scored by the opposition total.
There is undoubtedly room for growth for Queens Park Rangers on defense. In spite of past outcomes, it is uncertain whether such a tendency will continue in this forthcoming game.
According to a review of their prior performance, Queens Park Rangers have not lost to Middlesbrough in their last three league games when they have faced them away from home and have played four league games without a victory away from home.
Middlesbrough vs QPR – Betting Analysis
Looking at their head-to-head record going back to 5/7/2020 demonstrates that Middlesbrough has suffered a lot in these matches.
They have failed to win any games at all, while QPR has performed better than them, winning 67% of the games they have played.
In total, 20 goals were scored between them during those games, with 8 coming from The Boro and 12 from The R’s. That equals 3.33 goals per game on average.
The two teams’ most recent league matchup took place on Championship Match Day 2 on August 6, 2022, and was won by Queens Park Rangers 3-2 over Middlesbrough.
At that point, Queens Park Rangers had 42% of the possession and 5 of their 10 shots on goal were successful. Chris Willock (13′), Jimmy Dunne (27′), and Lyndon Dykes (38′) scored the goals.
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, made 12 attempts at goal, scoring on 3 of them. Marcus Forss scored at 56 and 41 seconds, respectively. Joshua Smith served as the official.
There aren’t many selection problems, and Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick just has one fitness issue to worry about out of an almost fully healthy group. Due to a knee injury, Aaron Ramsey will not play.
Neil Critchley, the manager of QPR, has no reservations about his fitness going into this game because he has a completely injury-free bunch to choose from.
When comparing these two groups, we believe Queens Park Rangers can score goals against Middlesbrough, but it is unlikely that they will score as many goals as they did in the past.

In terms of the bookies’ odds in the win-draw-win market, a win for Middlesbrough is available for 1.74, a bet on a draw is 3.75 and taking a punt on the winning team to be Queens Park Rangers gets you 4.75. These are the top market prices available at this very moment.
