Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 away win against Huddersfield Town in their previous league match. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Huddersfield Town's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Middlesboro at Riverside Stadium recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Emmanuel Latte Lath will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 league games.
Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Swansea City. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Swansea City, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Mark Robins will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Tatsuhiro Sakamoto will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Coventry City.
After a good 3-0 win for Coventry City in this pair's last league encounter, Middlesbrough will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Sky Blues defence has struggled at Riverside Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 visits. The Boro have struggled to break down the Coventry defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the past Middlesboro have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 11 games in a row.
With both Darragh Lenihan (Achilles tendon) and Tommy Smith (Achilles tendon) being out for the rest of the season and Seny Dieng (Hip), Marcus Forss (Thigh), Hayden Hackney (Groin), Emmanuel Latte Lath (Hamstring), Paddy McNair (Back) and Lewis O'Brien (Ankle) all unavailable in the shorter term, Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
