Middlesbrough vs QPR Predictions

• These sides have drawn 20 Championship matches between them this campaign
• Middlesbrough have drawn 1-1 on five occasions in the league this season
• Both teams have scored in 22 of QPR’s 41 Championship encounters

Stalemate expected when struggling Boro face inconsistent QPR

Both Middlesbrough and QPR find themselves in no-man’s land in the Championship, too far adrift of the playoff places and comfortably clear of the relegation zone, and the two teams could be lacking incentive to win at the Riverside.

Boro’s failure to win any of their last four encounters against Millwall, Bournemouth, Watford and Barnsley only reinforces that statement, while QPR let their guard down in defeat to relegation-threatened Rotherham last time out.

Beyond ten-goal Lyndon Dykes, the visitors offer little in the final third as well and punters could be best-placed backing a draw when these teams clash on Teesside. 

While Boro have seen nine stalemates this season, Rangers have drawn on 11 occasions, most recently away to promotion-chasing Reading.

And they have seen both teams score in five of their last six matches so a score draw is expected. The home side have drawn by a 1-1 scoreline on five occasions this term, including in the reverse of this fixture, and that is our correct score prediction.
