Match preview

Middlesbrough had a rough start to the season, securing only two wins in their first six matches. However, under Michael Carrick, the team has found form and is once again a contender for promotion.

Currently, Middlesbrough sits in fifth place with 31 points. However, their spot in the playoff zone is precarious, as Watford, in seventh, is just one point behind, and Blackburn trails only due to an inferior goal difference. In their last match, Carrick’s team drew 1-1 away against Burnley, following a 3-1 victory over Hull City and a narrow 1-0 loss to Blackburn.

Leeds entered the season as one of the favorites not just to gain promotion to the Premier League but to secure one of the top two spots. So far, Daniel Farke’s side has lived up to expectations. After 19 rounds, the Whites are in second place with 38 points, trailing leaders Sheffield United by just one point.

Leeds has been particularly dominant at home, where they are nearly unstoppable. In their last home game, Leeds defeated Derby County 2-0, following a narrow 1-0 away loss to Blackburn. Leeds has accumulated 12 points in their last five matches.

Probable lineups

• Leeds: Dieng; Dijksteel, Fry, Edmundson, Borges; Barlaser, Hackney; Doak, Azaz, Burgzorg; Conway
• Middlesbrough: Meslier; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Wöber; Tank, Rothwell; James, Aaronson, Gnonto; Piroe

Prediction for Leeds vs Middlesbrough

Leeds is formidable at home, but keeping a clean sheet against a team like Middlesbrough will be a tough task. My bet is that both teams will score.
