    Middlesbrough welcome QPR to the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday night (19:45 GMT) looking to keep their Championship play-off hopes alive.

    Boro's top six ambitions were dented by a 1-0 defeat at Swansea on Saturday - their seventh loss in 10 games - and sit five points behind West Bromwich Albion in sixth.

    The Hoops have seen their own play-off quest become increasingly unlikely with three straight defeats leaving them them 11 points off the top six.

    • Middlesbrough have won three of their past four league games against QPR (L1), scoring 2+ goals in each of those victories.

    • QPR have won four of their past five away league games against Middlesbrough (L1), as many as across their prior 13 visits to face Boro.

    • Middlesbrough are looking to win successive home league games for only the second time this season, previously doing so in November/December.

    • QPR have won five of their past seven midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league matches (L2), though did lose the most recent such game 1-0 at Coventry last month.

    • Middlesbrough have won each of their past four league games against London clubs; in their Football League history, their longest winning run over sides from the capital is five games, achieved on six previous occasions, most recently in March 2015.
