Middlesbrough will look to pile pressure on the relegation-threatened Derby as the sides meet in a Championship matchday 35 meeting on Saturday. This match at the Riverside Stadium between the 11th-placed Boro and the 23rd-placed Rams comes with our prediction of a home win.
Ahead of this round, Middlesbrough’s 47 points put them four points behind the playoff spots. Derby have 29 points to their credit and are still four points adrift of safety.
Middlesbrough won 3-1 away at Stoke last weekend, ending a run of five consecutive defeats. These results took them farther from the playoff race, but they can now hope to revive their push.
The hosts need to be careful of their form at Riverside Stadium in recent weeks, having lost two league games in a row here. Derby may struggle to make the most of those results, as they are beaten 1-0 at home by Millwall. That result extended their winless run to 11 matches in all competitions, losing nine and drawing two.
The Rams remain closer to the bottom of the points tally, as they struggle for goals. While they have been scoring consistently away from home, Derby’s record of five defeats and one draw suggests it could be a tricky visit this weekend.
