Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Queens Park Rangers. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against West Bromwich Albion's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Martí Cifuentes will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
QPR will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Norwich City in their last league game, Middlesbrough will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Norwich City had 6 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 games overall.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Middlesboro camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
On an individual basis, Josh Coburn will be looking to cause Queens Park Rangers some problems having scored 2 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Middlesbrough last time they met Queens Park Rangers in the league, with the game ending in a 0-2 defeat.
QPR will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Boro having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 9 meetings.
In the league, QPR has had a good run at home against Middlesboro, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at Loftus Road Stadium.
There is only really one injury concern for the QPR manager Martí Cifuentes ahead of this clash, with Rayan Kolli (Leg) missing out, which gives Cifuentes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With both Darragh Lenihan (Achilles tendon) and Tommy Smith (Achilles tendon) being out for the rest of the season and Alex Bangura (Leg), Josh Coburn (Groin), Dael Fry (Groin) and Hayden Hackney (Knee) all unavailable in the shorter term, Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
