Middlesbrough will be looking to recharge their Championship bid when they welcome Bristol City to the Riverside Stadium. Both sides are coming off defeats that left Boro eight points below leaders Coventry and Bristol 12th in the standings. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Middlesbrough’s push for a top-two finish took a hit last time out as they fell 1-0 at home to Charlton. That was their second defeat in five outings, and they’ve now lost eight times in the league this season.
Home form has been of particular concern lately, with the team failing to win in the last three games. Boro scored just once in the three outings at home.
In the last two seasons, Bristol City completed league doubles over Middlesbrough. They are in line for a third, having already beaten their hosts this season.
In the reverse meeting, Bristol won 2-0 in what was their fifth straight win against Middlesbrough. That, though, was only their second clean sheet in the last 10 such meetings.
The Robins will need a lot of improvement to match those levels, having lost each of the last three league games. Their 2-0 defeat against Leicester City last time out was their fourth straight winless outing.
Across their previous eight away matches, they only managed two wins.
