Middlesbrough are third in the Championship but have gone three league games without a win. They are home to eighth-placed Birmingham City this weekend. Can Boro get a home win? Read our match prediction.
The home side begin the weekend five points behind leaders Coventry but only a point adrift of the automatic promotion places. The last three games haven't gone well for Boro with only two points earned, most recently a 1-1 draw at Leicester.
Two of those games were played on the road and Boro are much stronger at home. Along with Coventry, they are the only club in the Championship still unbeaten at home with four wins and two draws. Only ten goals have been scored in their six home league games.
Birmingham City have won both of their last two league games 4-0. Both were played at home with wins over Portsmouth and Millwall. The Blues are two points behind the final promotion play-off position.
Away form isn't great though with two wins, a draw and four defeats. They have only scored four away league goals this season and need to improve on that if they want to win promotion to the Premier League.
We tip under 2.5 goals in this game.
