With their automatic promotion to the Premier League under threat, Middlesbrough will look to get back to winning ways when they visit a relegation-threatened Blackburn on matchday 39. This match on Saturday between the 19th-placed Rovers and the second-placed Boro comes with our prediction of an away win.
Ahead of this round, Blackburn’s 42 points (W11, D9, L18) put them three points above the relegation zone. Middlesbrough have 70 points (W20, D10, L8) and are seven points behind leaders Coventry City and two points above Ipswich, who have a game in hand.
Blackburn defeated Millwall 2-1 away from home last weekend to end a four-game winless run in the Championship (D1, L3). It was a much-needed three points to move clear of the drop zone.
They have a slightly better record at home recently, winning two of their last four home league games (D1, L1), scoring exactly once in all those four matches.
Middlesbrough drew 1-1 at home against Bristol City last weekend, dropping points in consecutive games, following a 1-0 loss to Charlton. That was still just their second defeat in their last 13 games, so Boro still have form on their side.
That’s prominent on the road where Middlesbrough won five of their last six away league games, including two in a row.
