QPR welcome Middlesbrough at Loftus Road, London on Saturday, Sep 5 at 4:00 PM in a Championship fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
QPR come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Middlesbrough travel in mixed form (1W 0D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, QPR face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Middlesbrough have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Middlesbrough won 4–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives QPR a slight edge, but Middlesbrough are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
