Middlesbrough, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Middlesbrough players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Bristol City. During that encounter they had 57% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 10 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Michael Carrick will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form at Riverside Stadium recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Sam Greenwood will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 league games.
Preston North End, Recent FormThe Preston North End players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Cardiff City recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 3 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Cardiff City who had 19 attempts and 8 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Goalscorer Milutin Osmajić will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Preston North End.
Preston North End will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Middlesbrough, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
Middlesboro will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Lilywhites, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two.
Emil Riis is on a hot scoring streak against Middlesboro, having scored in each of Preston's last 1 meetings with them.
Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Marcus Forss (Thigh), Darragh Lenihan (Achilles tendon), Riley McGree (Foot), Lewis O'Brien (Ankle) and Tommy Smith (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Ryan Lowe has a number of injury concerns in his Preston squad to contend with: Greg Cunningham (Hamstring), Andrew Hughes (Calf), Ali McCann (Calf), Calvin Ramsay (Knee), Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) and Jack Whatmough (Hamstring)
