Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against Millwall. They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Millwall's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Michael Carrick will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 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 have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Emmanuel Latte Lath will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Middlesbrough.
Rotherham United, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Stoke City will have left the Rotherham United squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 41% share of the possession and clocked up 3 attempts on goal with 0 on target, in comparison to Stoke City, who managed 4 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Leam Richardson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 7 of their 13 games on the road.
It's been a dismal run of form for Rotherham on their travels, not managing to win any of their last 26 away games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Rotherham United, Tom Eaves will be looking to add more goals against Middlesbrough in this match.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Rotherham United sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-0.
It's been a long time since Middlesboro at home has managed to find the back of The Millers net, having failed to score against them in their last 3 encounters at Riverside Stadium. The Boro have struggled to break down the Rotherham defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Rotherham has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Middlesboro in 3 games.
Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Luke Ayling (Knee), Alex Bangura (Leg), Seny Dieng (Hip), Marcus Forss (Thigh), Hayden Hackney (Groin), Emmanuel Latte Lath (Hamstring), Darragh Lenihan (Achilles tendon), Paddy McNair (Back), Lewis O'Brien (Ankle) and Tommy Smith (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Leam Richardson has a number of injury concerns in his Rotherham squad to contend with: Tyler Blackett (Hamstring), Shane Ferguson (Hernia), André Green (Achilles tendon), Grant Hall (Hip) and Cameron Humphreys (Hamstring)
