Middlesbrough will look to consolidate their fifth-place position when they host third-place Leeds for matchday 41 of the English Championship on Tuesday. Boro are involved in a tight battle for a spot in the promotion playoffs while the Whites are seeking automatic promotion. Here’s our match prediction!

Middlesbrough come into this match in a fine run of form after taking 10 points from the last 12 available. They struck twice in the first 10 minutes of play in their 2-0 away win over Blackburn over the weekend to secure their second straight victory.

The result raises Michael Carrick’s side to 60 points, putting them level with sixth-place Bristol and maintaining a slim one-point lead over seventh-place Coventry. With a 15-point gap between themselves and fourth-place Sunderland, the goal for the rest of the campaign will be to wrap up the fifth seed.

As for Leeds, only a single victory in their last six outings sees them with ground to make up if they are to achieve automatic promotion back to the Premier League. The visitors were held to a 1-1 away draw with Luton in their last match, marking their third draw in a row.

Leeds trail third-place Sheffield by one point and leaders Burnley by two points, meaning there is still plenty that can change in the final few matches.
