    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.

    Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick says his side feels like they earned their 1-0 win over Derby County.

    Finn Azaz's goal 10 minutes from full-time was enough as Carrick's side recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since November.

    It moved Boro up to eighth in the Championship, two points off the play-offs.

    "I think it was a tough game," he told BBC Radio Tees.

    "I thought we played some good football, especially in the first half, we had some opportunities and they've got as lot to hold on to.

    "They made it difficult for us and we had to find a way of getting over the line, which we haven't done enough this season, but it was a good step for us.

    "Everyone played their part and it's just as good winning like that as any other way, to win late in and feel like we've earned it, so a good day."
