West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormThe 3-2 away defeat to Watford will not have sat easily with the West Bromwich Albion squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Watford's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. With 5 clean sheets in their last 6 home games, they are proving tough to beat at The Hawthorns.
They have been performing well at The Hawthorns recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormLast time out, Middlesbrough left content aftera 3-1 home win against Queens Park Rangers In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 9 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 9 shots on goal.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Michael Carrick will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 5 goals in the same period. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. Away from home they have not had their troubles to seek, with at least 1 goal conceded in 16 of their last 17 away league matches this season, making points hard to come by on the road.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
Chuba Akpom will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 6 goals in the last 6 league games for Middlesbrough.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
West Brom have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Boro. Goals come easy for Middlesboro when they travel to The Baggies, having recorded 6 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2 goals per match.
In the league, Middlesboro have been unbeaten in the last 4 times they have visited West Brom at The Hawthorns.
West Brom manager Carlos Corberán has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kyle Bartley (Foot), Alex Palmer (Knee) and Matt Phillips (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick ahead of this clash, with Matt Clarke (Back) missing out, which gives Carrick a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
