Middlesbrough have been the steadier side lately, going unbeaten in their last few games with a couple of wins and several draws, including some high-scoring ones. QPR, on the other hand, are having a rough stretch - they've lost their last two matches badly and haven't won in a while, though they did battle to draws earlier on. Middlesbrough also won the one recent meeting between these two teams, and that game was a tight, low-scoring affair.

Middlesbrough look the stronger and more settled team right now, while QPR are struggling and conceding a lot. This looks like a game Middlesbrough should control and win, with a decent chance of a few goals along the way.
