Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against Sheffield United. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Sheffield United who had 18 attempts and 10 on target.
Manager Michael Carrick will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. A number of teams visiting Riverside Stadium have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 7 clean sheets.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.
When it comes to home matches at Riverside Stadium, Chuba Akpom will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 8 league goals for Middlesbrough in their last 6 home games.
Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormNeil Critchley will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 home thrashing at the hands of Sunderland. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Sunderland, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 12 goals in that same period.
A win for Queens Park Rangers is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Tyler Roberts will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Middlesbrough in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Queens Park Rangers.
It ended in disappointment and a 3-2 defeat for Middlesbrough last time they met Queens Park Rangers in the league, with The R's defying the odds to take the win.
The Middlesboro defence has struggled against The R's in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games. When QPR are away to The Boro in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
When playing at home, Middlesboro have lost the last 3 times they've faced QPR in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters.
Chris Willock is on a hot scoring streak against Middlesboro, having scored in each of QPR's last 1 meetings with them.
There is only really one injury concern for the Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick ahead of this clash, with Matt Clarke (Back) missing out, which gives Carrick a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Neil Critchley has a number of injury concerns in his QPR squad to contend with: Leon Balogun (Knee), Jake Clarke-Salter (Calf), Lyndon Dykes (Illness) and Chris Willock (Hamstring)
