Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will not be too troubled by their 4-2 away defeat against West Bromwich Albion, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. During that encounter they had 42% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormLosing 2-1 away to Southampton won't leave the Queens Park Rangers squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they had 25% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Southampton who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 3-1 win for Middlesbrough.
The R's will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Middlesboro having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings. When QPR visit The Boro in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
Chris Willock is on a hot scoring streak against Middlesboro, having scored in each of QPR's last 1 meetings with them.
With only Anfernee Dijksteel (Unknown) and Tommy Smith (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Carrick will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Jake Clarke-Salter (Unknown) and Jimmy Dunne (Shoulder) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gareth Ainsworth will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
