- Competition: England - Championship
- Date: Tuesday, 11th, March 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Riverside Stadium (Middlesbrough)
Middlesbrough will be determined to breathe life into their playoff aspirations when they take on Queens Park Rangers at Riverside Stadium in Championship's gameweek 37.
Michael Carrick’s side saw their playoff chase take a serious blow in Saturday’s Championship action as Swansea handed them a slim one-goal defeat on Welsh soil, a result that pushed Boro further down the standings and widened their gap to sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion to five points.
On the other hand, Queens Park Rangers also head into Championship matchweek 37 off the back of a disappointing weekend, having fallen by the narrowest of margins to playoff-chasing West Bromwich Albion, a result that solidified their mid-table destiny for the season as they sit 14th, equally distanced from both the playoff spots and the relegation zone.
Middlesbrough vs QPR Betting Tips : BORO TO WIN
With expectations high for Tuesday’s clash, Boro will look to make the most of their home advantage by putting in a dominant display, aiming to collect three vital points that would keep their playoff ambitions very much alive. As the regular season approaches its final stretch with just 10 matches remaining, Carrick and his men must find their rhythm at the most crucial moment, and with two victories from their last three second-tier outings, there are certainly some encouraging signs. Middlesbrough might not get a better chance than this to secure maximum points as they take on a QPR squad in deep trouble, with their latest setback against WBA extending their losing streak to three straight league games and making it four defeats in their last five. With time running out and no room for slip-ups against an out-of-form opponent if they want to keep their playoff push alive, Boro should seize the opportunity and secure a vital victory over QPR, who have endured a miserable run on recent travels, suffering four consecutive defeats.

Queens Park Rangers team news
In contrast, Queens Park Rangers have fewer injury concerns, with five players ruled out, while Michael Frey and Jonathan Varane remain doubtful for the Tuesday's match.
After watching his team suffer their third consecutive defeat over the weekend, coach Marti Cifuentes is likely to consider making changes to the starting lineup in an effort to get them back on track.
