Middlesbrough have shown great character in their recent outings, coming back from behind to take all three points against Cardiff City and the Blades. Last time out, Michael Carrick’s side fell behind through Oli Burnie’s 5th-minute effort, before Chuba Akpom leveled the score mid-way through the first half and then, Cameron Archer netted a second-half double to help Boro register their fourth successive league-win. It was their 16th top flight victory of the campaign. Meanwhile, Carrick, who took charge of the team in October, has now won 12 of his 17 matches in charge.
QPR, on the other hand, have pocketed just eight points from their last ten matches in the top flight. The Hoops are winless in their last 10 games across all competitions. Their last win came against Preston North End (1-0) in a league-match in December. QPR have lost three of their most recent four fixtures, their only point during that period coming away at struggling Huddersfield Town. Last time out, Super Hoops lost to Sunderland, courtesy of Luke O’Nien’s first-half opener and a second half brace by Jake Clarke. Meanwhile, QPR haven’t lost to the Boro in their last seven encounters, while winning four of those meetings. The last meeting between these two sides was in August, and the reverse fixture ended ended 3-2 in favour of the Hoops.
