Middlesbrough wants a win so badly from this game; they are occupying the final promotion playoff place, with at least two sides breathing just beneath them and they need to open up that space as they push for their targets. Three straight wins have put Middlesbrough well in the race and they won’t mind a fourth when they take this trip to Nottingham. They are still recovering from a seven – day winless hiatus and they will want to ride on the momentum; they have also picked three straight clean sheets going into this game and this is the form they’d want in these final matches of the campaign.

Middlesbrough have four wins in their last 10 away matches. Middlesbrough have lost four of the last seven meetings with Nottingham Forest and will be hoping to do better in this clash.

Middlesbrough have won in just two of the last 10 visits to Nottingham Forest and have lost six. In 62 meetings they have only 14 wins and Nottingham have 21.
