Middlesbrough, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 away win over Hull City in their last league game, Middlesbrough will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Hull City managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
On an individual basis, Chuba Akpom will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 league games.
Bristol City, Recent FormThe Bristol City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Sheffield United, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Sheffield United, who had 4 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
The Bristol City travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Nahki Wells, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
It was not a positive ending for Middlesbrough last time they met Bristol City in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
From their past 9 away matches in the league against Middlesboro, The Robins have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. When Bristol City visit The Boro in the league, goals tend to happen, with 7 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.33 goals per match.
Bristol City player Nahki Wells will be looking to cause Middlesboro some problems having scored 3 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Riverside Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Tomáš Kalas (Calf) and Kal Naismith (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Nigel Pearson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
