Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough manager Michael Carrick will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Stoke City. They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Stoke City managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Carrick will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. 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 have been performing well at Riverside Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
When home matches come round at Riverside Stadium, Chuba Akpom will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 8 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 home league matches.
Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against Rotherham United. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Rotherham United's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Manager Ryan Lowe will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 6 goals. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Ched Evans is the man of the moment at Preston North End right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
