Birmingham City

In recent matches, the results of the "Blues" have been distinctly disappointing. Due to a series of setbacks, their lead over the relegation zone has narrowed to just one point. Currently, Tony Mowbray's team has 39 points, the same as QPR, who are one place above them. Meanwhile, Stoke City has managed to pull away from this pair by two points. In general, the battle to avoid relegation to the second division is expected to be fierce! And, perhaps, Birmingham does not appear to be the favorite here. Sheffield Wednesday, for instance, has won four times in the last five rounds, whereas Birmingham has only managed one victory in this period. Specifically, Tony Mowbray's team lost to Millwall away last weekend with a score of 0-1.

Middlesbrough

In turn, the "Smoggies" are solid mid-table contenders in the Championship, who no longer need to worry about securing their place in the second division. Reaching the top six will not be easy – an eight-point gap may not seem particularly significant, but with such density in the league table, a swift ascent for Middlesbrough seems unlikely. However, it is worth acknowledging that in recent matches, Michael Carrick's team has finally accumulated some much-needed points by winning two matches. First, they defeated Norwich at home (3-1), and then, last weekend, they won against QPR away (2-0). In total, in the last five rounds, Middlesbrough has secured three victories, although not long ago, their winless streak lasted for four matches.

Interesting facts about the match and personal meetings

• Middlesbrough defeated Birmingham City in the home match of the first round with a score of 1-0.
• Middlesbrough's winning streak in this matchup now stands at four matches.
• Middlesbrough has won five out of six matches at Birmingham's ground.
