Boro can down QPR, Championship leaders Burnley to hold second-placed Brighton

The travelling team bounced back from two straight losses to Rotherham United and Charlton Athletic by overcoming Hull City, thanks to a 90th-minute winner from striker David Nugent, who is 2/1 to net again anytime.

January signing Jordan Rhodes has struggled in front of goal since his switch from Blackburn Rovers, having struck just once in 10 outings so far, but the forward still has double figures this term and is 9/2 to net last.

Grant Leadbitter was on target in injury time to secure victory in the reverse meeting and is 7/2 to dispatch anytime this time out, while attacking ace Gaston Ramirez is 12/5 to get on the scoresheet.

Chery can help QPR on home soil

Returning from international duty with Northern Ireland, QPR frontman Conor Washington is 13/5 to strike anytime for the home side, with his fellow attacker Sebastian Polter 13/2 to open proceedings, after doing so in the 1-1 draw with Preston North End last time out.

Dutch attacking midfielder Tjaronn Chery has been in sublime form of late, dispatching four in his last seven appearances, and the former Eredivisie playmaker is 14/5 to add another anytime on his latest outing.

QPR boast an incredible home record in this fixture, having amazingly only ever lost there on one occasion against Boro in their history, though that could soon be halted as the visitors seek points in their bid for automatic promotion.

First versus second at Falmer Stadium

In a Championship battle between first and second at Falmer Stadium on Saturday afternoon, league leaders Burnley take on close challengers Brighton, with just four points separating the automatic promotion hopefuls at this stage.

The visitors arrive on the back of a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the previous two meetings between these Championship rivals have ended level, making 2/1 odds on another stalemate very promising.

Although, Chris Hughton’s Seagulls will be targeting three points as they aim to close the gap at the summit and are 6/4 to triumph, while Sean Dyche’s Clarets are 2/1 for travelling success.

Welsh hitman Vokes key for Burnley

Wales international frontman Sam Vokes has been vital to Burnley’s success so far this current campaign, after dispatching an impressive 10 goals in his last 16 games, and the menacing marksman is 23/10 to strike anytime.

The Welshman featured in both his country’s friendly matches recently, including a draw with fellow home nation Northern Ireland, and will hope for further goalscoring success to boost his starting chances at Euro 2016 in France.

Alongside him in the Burnley attack will be Andre Gray, who is 19/10 to dispatch, having fired in during the previous 1-1 between the two outfits at Turf Moor last November. Brighton targetman Bobby Zamora bagged the opener after just a minute played that day and he is 5/2 to strike here.

Meanwhile, other Seagulls striker Tomer Hemed will be looking to add to his impressive 15 strikes so far for club and country, with the Israel international poacher 2/1 to dispatch anytime in this crucial Championship clash between first and second.
