We head to Loftus Road on Saturday, where Queens Park Rangers will be playing host to Middlesbrough in the Championship. Both teams are averaging 1.75 goals per game this season, and our prediction is that there will be goals at both ends in this match.
Queens Park Rangers have made a very promising start to the league season, currently on 10 points and as one of only five teams that have yet to taste defeat after four games (W3 D1).
The Hoops secured a 2-1 victory over newly promoted Cardiff on Wednesday evening. Rumarn Burrell bagged a brace in that match and now has three goal contributions in his last two games.
The hosts have taken four points from their two home games this term. Last season, they scored 40 goals at Loftus Road - the fourth-most home goals in the division.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough have also made a solid start to the season. They have picked up seven points from their first four games and are currently in fifth place in the standings.
The Boro played to a 1-1 draw against Burnley. Will Lankshear has made a very impressive start to the campaign, currently on a league-high four goals and six across all competitions.
Excluding the Playoffs, the visitors are winless in their last six away league matches and conceded two or more goals in all but one of those games.

Our QPR vs Middlesbrough Prediction
While it is arguable that Queens Park Rangers’ impressive start to the season is attributable to a favourable run of fixtures, they are looking sharp in front of goal, having already netted seven times this term.
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, have navigated a tricky schedule over the first month and will fancy their chances here. Matches between these sides have delivered goals in recent years, and we feel that will be the case in this one. Our QPR vs Middlesbrough prediction is BTTS.
