Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Watford. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Watford's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Their boss Michael Carrick has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 5 goals conceded across those matches. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Riverside Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. When playing at home this season, Middlesbrough has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have been performing well at Riverside Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Riverside Stadium, Chuba Akpom will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Blackpool, Recent FormBlackpool will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Watford who sit so many places above them in the table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Watford had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Mick McCarthy will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
A win for Blackpool is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 10 games.
Gary Madine will be hoping to create problems for Middlesbrough in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Blackpool.
A defeat for Blackpool in their last match against Middlesbrough was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
Middlesboro will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Seasiders, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 9 encounters between the two sides.
Blackpool has lost the last 2 times they've faced Middlesboro in the league.
With only Matt Clarke (Back) and Anfernee Dijksteel (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Carrick will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Mick McCarthy has a number of injury concerns in his Blackpool squad to contend with: Keshi Anderson (Hamstring), Liam Bridcutt (Leg), Marvin Ekpiteta (Hamstring), Lewis Fiorini (Leg), Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel (Knee) and Kevin Stewart (Broken foot)
