Middlesbrough, Recent FormAny Middlesbrough pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 4-2 away defeat by Huddersfield Town. They achieved 74% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Huddersfield Town's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. When playing at home this season, Middlesbrough has notched up a tally of 9 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 11 home games.
On an individual basis, Chuba Akpom will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Riverside Stadium having scored 9 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 home games in the league.
Burnley, Recent FormBurnley manager Vincent Kompany will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Sunderland. In that game they had 69% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Sunderland who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
Kompany 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 11 goals. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches. Few teams have managed to keep The Clarets away from their goal, having scored in all but 3 of their games this season.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 18 games in a row.
Nathan Tella will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Burnley.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Burnley that came out on top with a 3-1 win.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Riverside Stadium, The Clarets have been unable to break through the Middlesboro defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Middlesboro have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Burnley to Riverside Stadium.
With only Cameron Archer (Ankle) and Matt Clarke (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Carrick will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Burnley manager Vincent Kompany ahead of this clash, with Darko Churlinov (Leg) missing out, which gives Kompany a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
