Leeds United, Recent FormLeeds United have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 3-1 home win against Swansea City in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to Swansea City, who had 10 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Daniel Farke will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 9 games.
When home matches come round at Elland Road, Daniel James will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Leeds United's last 6 home league matches.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Middlesbrough racked up a stunning 4-0 home win against Preston North End. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Preston North End's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 8 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 when on their travels.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Sam Greenwood is giving Middlesbrough's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 0-1 win for Leeds United.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, The Boro have been unable to break through Leeds' defence and find the back of the net. The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between The Boro and their rivals, Leeds, the former have conceded at least one goal.
Leeds has won the last 2 games they've played against Middlesboro in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leeds manager Daniel Farke ahead of this clash, with Stuart Dallas (Broken hip) missing out, which gives Farke a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Michael Carrick has a number of injury concerns in his Middlesboro squad to contend with: Marcus Forss (Thigh), Darragh Lenihan (Achilles tendon), Riley McGree (Foot), Lewis O'Brien (Ankle) and Tommy Smith (Achilles tendon)
