QPR vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips (9 March)

Having triumphed at their one of the past 5 games of the season, Middlesbrough have since gone on to lose eight of their next ten matches at the top table of the Championship. QPR, by way of contrast, have enjoyed 13 wins in their previous 20 home games at this level, so the club from the capital will be confident of putting Championship bottom side to the sword.

Five of the last six QPR matches in the Championship have served up two goals or more, so the promotion-chasing outfit have proven reasonably entertaining to watch in recent times. The same can be said of Middlesbrough on their second-tier travels, as eight of their last ten encounters have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so this clash is expected to deliver something similar.

QPR are currently on a run of 11 consecutive top-flight fixtures in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes, so consistency has certainly not been lacking on this particular front. This has also been the case in five of the previous six Middlesbrough matches at this level, meaning that clean sheets are likely to prove hard to come by.
