Middlesbrough won 3-1 against QPR back in February 2023, but that’s all the success they’ve had against the Hoops recently.

QPR team news and form: Crazy-good form from the Hoops

Sam Field was the hero coach Marti Cifuentes needed in last week’s match against West Bromwich. The Hoops’ defensive midfielder scored a lovely brace to earn his manager a much-needed point. Having him among the starters for the home team definitely boosts our QPR vs Middlesbrough predictions.

Predicted lineup: Begovic (GK), Dunne, Cook, Clarke-Salter, Paal, Field, Hayden, Smyth, Andersen, Chair & Frey

Middlesbrough team news and form: Shaky Boro dropping points

The Darragh Lennihan-shaped hole at the back of Boro’s backline will be a huge issue for coach Michael Carrick. The 42-year-old manager won’t be able to use his key defender in the match against QPR, which will hurt the visitors’ chances of making something happen on Saturday.

Predicted lineup: Dieng (GK), McNair, van der Berg, Clarke, Ayling, Howson, O’Brien, Engel, McGree, Fors & Lath

Player to watch: Asmir Begovic

Asmir hasn’t been as convincing under the sticks as we are used to seeing him be. He conceded way too many goals in the last couple of fixtures, which is not something he is prone to do normally.

Begovic will step up his game

However, Asmir Begociv did make a total of nine saves in the last three league games. Despite his age, he surely has what it takes to perform at the highest level in the Championship. We believe that he will help make our QPR vs Middlesbrough predictions a success.
