Middlesbrough vs QPR Predictions

• The visitors have failed to win any of their last ten matches and are yet to win away under Neil Critchley.
• Michael Carrick has overseen 12 wins across his 16 matches in charge of the hosts.
• The hosts are conceding less than a goal per game at home this term.

Carrick’s at the wheel

Michael Carrick has worked wonders since taking the helm at the Riverside and they come into this match off the back of a crucial 3-1 win away at second place Sheffield United which kept their slim hopes of achieving automatic promotion alive. They’re playing some excellent football and look like a force to be reckoned with in the Championship. They’ve won all of their last four matches in the league and they’ll believe they can claim three more vital points against a struggling QPR side.

Based purely on last five form, the visitors sit bottom having failed to win any of their previous five games and have scored a measly three goals in that time but have conceded ten. They look all over the place and a trip north to take on third place Middlesbrough doesn’t look to be the game that will snap that run.

Another win for Boro

Momentum is key and right now, Middlesbrough have it in abundance and will be kicking themselves if they don’t secure victory here. They’re more organised, more confident, more clinical and we think the hosts will seal another victory here but can cover a -1 Asian handicap.
