Marti Cifuentes was disappointed as Rangers slipped to a sixth defeat in eight. With Zan Celar and Rayan Kolli already unavailable, Paul Smyth started up front and despite plenty of possession, the visitors were unable to create opportunities in front of goal.
Cifuentes said, “I was not happy with the lack of clear chances. It’s not easy without three of your four strikers – and Aflie (Lloyd) has had a groin issue that meant he couldn’t start the game. That’s not an excuse. We should still have created more chances. The reality of football is about scoring goals, and we need to get back to doing that again.”
Middlesbrough vs QPR – Tue 11 Mar, 19:45
Middlesbrough ran out 4-1 winners when the sides crossed swords at Loftus Road, though QPR have improved immeasurably since that sorry night and low-scoring contests tend to be the way when Rangers go on the road. Under Marti Cifuentes’ watch, just one of the R’s last 34 away days have featured four goals or more.
QPR continued their excellent corner record at West Brom on the weekend, forcing another four corners. Rangers have won managed 3+ corners in 78% of their Championship outings this season, averaging 4.67 away from Loftus Road. Meanwhile, Middlesbrough have returned at least corners in half of their Riverside encounters.
Total Booking Points – Under 49.5
BET NOWThe Championship is averaging 4.02 cards per-game with 62% of overall matches producing Under 4.5 Cards. David Webb has been handed the whistle for Tuesday night’s tussle and the official is renowned for his low card counts, brandishing under 4.5 cards in 21 of his previous 22 second-tier showdowns, averaging just 2.77 cards.
Despite David Webb’s low card average, the arbiter could still be called into action by QPR. Rangers have collected at least one caution in all of their away dates this term, picking up multiple cautions in 78% of their games outside of Loftus Road (averaging 2.44 cards per-game away). Boro have drawn a booking from 89% of visiting sides.
