🗞️ Team News: Middlesbrough

Riley McGree (unknown injury) and Darragh Lenihan (Ankle surgery) will be missing for Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick.

In all likelihood, The Boro will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, utilising Seny Dieng, Luke Ayling, Rav van den Berg, Matt Clarke, Lukas Engel, Jonathan Howson, Lewis O'Brien, Isaiah Jones, Finn Azaz, Sam Greenwood and Emmanuel Latte Lath.

📋 Team News: Leeds United

Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there is just a single fitness problem for the Leeds United boss Daniel Farke to be concerned with. Pascal Struijk (Groin injury) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, The Whites could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Illan Meslier, Archie Gray, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu, Júnior Firpo, Glen Kamara, Ilia Gruev, Daniel James, Georginio Rutter, C. Summerville and Patrick Bamford.

🧠 Prediction

For this match, we think that Middlesbrough will manage to breach the defence of this Leeds United outfit, but a single goal may not quite be enough.

We’re going for a close game with a 1-2 win for Leeds United at the end of this one. Looking forward to this.
