Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. QPR and Middlesbrough together create chances worth 3.3 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Both teams scoring is the pattern. It happens in 67% of QPR's home games and 65% of Middlesbrough's away matches.
QPR are all-out attack: 3.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Middlesbrough, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Middlesbrough have goals in them (2.0 per game) but their record at the back (1.0 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
In the last 10 meetings: QPR have won 3, Middlesbrough 6, with 1 draw. These fixtures average 3.8 goals per game. 8 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Both teams have scored in most of their recent meetings, so there's a good chance both find the net again. Recent results: QPR 0-4 Middlesbrough, Middlesbrough 3-1 QPR, Middlesbrough 2-1 QPR.
