Burnley, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Burnley produced a stunning 3-0 away win over Queens Park Rangers. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Queens Park Rangers' tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Vincent Kompany will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 19 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 11 games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Turf Moor, Jay Rodriguez will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Luton Town. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Luton Town had 3 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Michael Carrick will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 6 goals during those same matches. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 10 of their last 11 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Middlesbrough, Chuba Akpom will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
In their last 2 league meetings with Burnley, The Boro have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. In their past 5 meetings, Middlesboro's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Clarets will have to take their chances when they come. Playing at home, Burnley have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Middlesboro.
In the last 3 league matches against Burnley, Middlesboro have failed to record a victory.
There is only really one injury concern for the Burnley manager Vincent Kompany ahead of this clash, with Jay Rodriguez (Knock) missing out, which gives Kompany a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
