Middlesbrough welcome West Brom to the Riverside Stadium for a midweek English Championship fixture with both teams still in the hunt for a promotion playoff place.

Both teams have shown similar form lately and should cancel each other out on Tuesday.

Middlesbrough Form


Middlesbrough are still gunning for one of the promotion playoff places and are unbeaten in five of their last six Championship fixtures. They have been held to four draws in that run but were beaten 2-1 at Portsmouth last Saturday despite taking an early lead through Emmanuel Latte-Lath.

The draws are becoming a major problem for Middlesbrough and seem to be more rampant at the Riverside Stadium. They have been held in their last three home matches and the frustrating thing for manager Michael Carrick is that Boro have led in two of those fixtures before being pegged back by their opponents.

The stalemates have been so frequent for Middlebrough that their last three home matches across all competitions have produced halftime draws. While they often take the lead, the constant pegging back has also seen them fail to keep a clean sheet in threeof the last four matches at the Riverside Stadium.

West Brom Form


Tony Mowbray takes charge of West Brom for the first time in 15 years after sealing a return to the Hawthorns over the weekend. The Baggies have been without a permanent manager since Christmas Eve when Carlos Corberan left to join Spanish side Valencia.

The first task for Mowbray is to build some consistency as West Brom have picked up just two wins in their last six Championship matches and were held 1-1 by Stoke City last Saturday. Results like that have been frequent for the Baggies, especially on their travels and have been held seven times in their last 10 away matches in the league.

West Brom have scored and conceded in each of their last five Championship away matches. Another similarity with Middlesbrough is the halftime draws as the visitors have also been level at the break in the last two fixtures in that run.

Head to Head


Middlesbrough have three wins while West Brom have been victorious twice in the last seven matches. The other two meetings have ended in draws, although Boro did claim a 1-0 away victory in the reverse fixture back in October.

Verdict

There is literally little to separate Middlesbrough and West Brom at the moment both in the table and with their recent form. They are evenly matched and should cancel each other out.

Both teams have shown some attacking quality this season while looking open at the back, so there should be goals here.
