Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-1 away win against Swansea City in their last league encounter. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Swansea City who had 14 attempts and 5 on target.
With 17 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Michael Carrick will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 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. 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.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 7 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 9 games.
Chuba Akpom will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Riverside Stadium, having notched up 10 goals for Middlesbrough in their last 6 league matches at home.
Stoke City, Recent FormStoke City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their home outing against Blackburn Rovers. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Their boss Alex Neil has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Tyrese Campbell will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Stoke City's last 6 league games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Middlesboro have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against The Potters.
Stoke will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 4 times they've visited Middlesboro in the league and not won this away fixture at Riverside Stadium for 6 games in a row.
With only Matt Clarke (Back) and Paddy McNair (Head) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Carrick will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Alex Neil has a number of injury concerns in his Stoke squad to contend with: Nick Powell (Knee), Matija Šarkić (Muscle) and Ben Wilmot (Ankle)
