After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Blackburn Rovers in Championship competition, Middlesbrough and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The numbers tell their own story, and Middlesbrough have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 13 goals in all. At the back, Middlesbrough have seen their frailties exposed. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out whether that pattern might persist in this next match.
