The action continues in round 37 of EFL Championship as Middlesbrough and Queens Park Rangers lock horns at the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday. QPR head into the game on a run of four back-to-back away defeats and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Middlesbrough were sent crashing back to earth in their push for a playoff spot as they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss against Swansea City at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday.
Before that, Michael Carrick’s men snapped their five-game losing streak on February 25 courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Stoke City, one week before picking up a 1-0 win against Derby County.
With 50 points from 36 Championship matches, Middlesbrough are currently ninth in the league table, five points off sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion in the final playoff spot.
