There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Championship table so far. Here's the Middlesbrough - Queens Park Rangers latest:

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Championship. That game was also an away game, at Rotherham United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Queens Park Rangers are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Middlesbrough form and stats

10-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Middlesbrough so far this season.

The fans are hoping that Middlesbrough will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Championship game against Barnsley (placed 6th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Watford.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Middlesbrough handle that role? We have found 14 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are eight wins, three draws and three defeats.

The manager N. Warnock will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Rotherham United in only four days.

Middlesbrough are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 26 goals in 20 games. Middlesbrough have only conceded 19 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Queens Park Rangers form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 5 wins, 7 draws and 8 defeats. QPR seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There might be some fixture complaints from QPR as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Championship match against Rotherham United (1-3). Prior to that match, a home win 4-1 against Sheffield Wednesday.

QPR are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is six wins, four draws and four defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

The schedule is very tough for QPR now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Swansea City is waiting in only three days.

QPR have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 20 league away games 20 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Queens Park Rangers have seen the ball go into their own net 27 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Queens Park Rangers - Middlesbrough 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Middlesbrough, two draws and three wins for Queens Park Rangers. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
