Middlesbrough vs QPR Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Championship on Saturday, 02 September 2023.
Middlesbrough are set to host QPR at Riverside Stadium for their upcoming league fixture. Middlesbrough enter the contest fresh off an impressive win against Bolton Wanderers in the League Cup but a subpar league showing. They remain 22nd in the standings following a 4-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion in their recent league match.
Their opponents, QPR, come into the game following a string of subpar performances. They sit 19th in the table following a 2-1 defeat to Southampton in their previous league encounter.
The last time these two clubs met was in February. Middlesbrough managed to deliver a 3-1 win that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams at this venue. Middlesbrough has won five times, there have been zero draws, and QPR has won five times.
We are counting on Middlesbrough to pull off a win here. With an away win and valiant efforts against West Brom and Huddersfield Town, they did display improved performances in their last three matches.
QPR, on the other hand, are struggling. Their last three matches have all ended in defeats.
We expect goals in this match. In four of Middlesbrough’s last five matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, each of QPR’s three away league matches this season has ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the last five h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their past six matches. While the visitors have also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Middlesbrough’s past three matches have all shown signs of progress, with an away win and impressive efforts against West Brom and Huddersfield. They also have a solid recent record against QPR at this venue. Furthermore, QPR has had a poor form going into the match.
A victory for Middlesbrough and over 2.5 goals at 2.30 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.72 look to be very attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the game.
