On Saturday Aug 6th, in week 2, Middlesbrough will travel to London to battle Queens Park Rangers in a clash of the Championship. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 21st placed Queens Park Rangers, recorded a 0-1 loss against Blackburn Rovers. Lewis Travis struck first for Blackburn Rovers in the 34th minute on a feed from Ryan Hedges, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Queens Park Rangers was frustrated by Blackburn Rovers’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Blackburn Rovers ended the match with the shutout victory. Queens Park Rangers looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 9th placed Middlesbrough, recorded a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion. Isaiah Jones struck first for Middlesbrough in the 10th minute, then John Swift tied it up for West Bromwich Albion in the 51st minute earning West Bromwich Albion at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 0 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Queens Park Rangers won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Isaiah Jones has been the most prolific scorer on Middlesbrough in his last five matches with three goals. Queens Park Rangers is glad to have Lyndon Dykes in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
