Match analysis
Middlesbrough have won all three of their last meetings with QPR by at least two goals, and that dominance shapes Superior's projected 2-1 scoreline for their Championship meeting on 5 September, with 1-1 as the alternative read.
Middlesbrough have won the last three meetings by an aggregate of 9-2
Middlesbrough's head-to-head record against QPR reads 4-0, 3-1 and 2-1, all three comfortably won, and their away form elsewhere has stayed strong too, with three wins by two goals or more in their last five. QPR's own home form has actually been decent, winning three of their last five, but none of those wins have come against this opponent.
QPR's home form is stronger than the head-to-head history suggests
The projected scoreline assumes Middlesbrough's dominance continues, but QPR have won three of their last five at home, including a 3-1 and a 3-2, and average 1.8 goals a game themselves. If QPR's home form finally shows up against this specific opponent, this could settle closer than the one-sided head-to-head history implies.
