Second placed Middlesbrough travel to Oxford United still without a new coach being appointed. They have earned four points from their last two league games and will hope to get a win at Oxford who are 21st in the Championship. Read our match prediction below.
Middlesbrough begin the weekend five points behind leaders Coventry City. They are in the second automatic promotion spot and are two points above third place. Their last league fixture saw them defeat Birmingham City 2-1 at home.
Coach Rob Edwards is now in charge of Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers with Adi Viveash in temporary charge. Boro have won three of their eight away league games this season.
Oxford United haven't beaten MIddlesbrough since 1990 and have lost their last six matches against them conceding 21 goals. They are struggling this season with only three league wins and eight defeats.
Both of their last two league games have ended in defeat with just one point earned from the last three. Their most recent game before the international break ended in a 2-1 defeat at West Bromwich Albion.
On home soil, United have won just one of their seven league fixtures with three defeats. They are struggling for goals at home with just seven scored in as many games. We tip Middlesbrough to win this.
