QPR vs Middlesbrough Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.00 expected goals for QPR and 1.50 for Middlesbrough, a combined total of 3.50.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 68% for over 2.5 goals and 67% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 9%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 49% favourite still loses or draws roughly 51% of the time.
