Middlesbrough's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the team experiencing a notable dip in performance.

Their defensive record has been a cause for concern, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game over the last six matches, while their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, scoring just once per game on average.

Interestingly, Middlesbrough's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals.
Queens Park Rangers
Queens Park Rangers are currently experiencing a challenging period in the Championship, having lost their last three matches in a row. This poor run of form has seen them slip to 14th position in the league table with 44 points from 35 games. Despite their recent struggles, QPR have shown flashes of potential, as evidenced by their impressive 4-0 victory over Derby County on 14th February, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in recent weeks. The team's goal-scoring record is somewhat inconsistent, averaging 1.33 goals per game in their last six matches, while conceding 1.17. Interestingly, two-thirds of QPR's recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting their matches tend to be relatively high-scoring affairs. However, their defensive record is a concern, with only one clean sheet in their last six outings, indicating an area that may need improvement if they hope to climb the table.
Middlesbrough's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistency at the Riverside Stadium. The Boro have managed just two wins in their last six home matches, with three losses and a draw completing the record. Interestingly, their defensive record has been relatively solid, with two clean sheets and only six goals conceded across these six games. However, their attacking output has been a concern, matching their goals conceded with just six scored. The majority of their home matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed form, Middlesbrough have shown they can still compete, as evidenced by their 9th position in the league table with 50 points from 35 games.
Queens Park Rangers
Queens Park Rangers' recent away form has been rather poor, with the team currently on a four-match losing streak on the road. After securing back-to-back away victories against Plymouth Argyle and Hull City in January, QPR have since struggled to find their footing, conceding at least one goal in each of their subsequent four away fixtures. Their defensive record has been a concern, with the team failing to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six away matches. Despite their recent struggles, QPR have managed to score in four of these six games, although their goal-scoring average of 0.83 goals per game suggests they are finding it difficult to be prolific in front of goal. The team's overall away performance has been characterised by relatively low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their recent away matches featuring under 2.5 goals.
