On Wednesday night, Middlesbrough hosts Sheffield United at the Riverside, both teams eager to recover from weekend defeats.
Current Form:
- Middlesbrough: Currently ninth in the Championship, Boro faces disappointment after two consecutive losses, including a 2-0 defeat to Bristol City. They have struggled offensively, scoring only twice in their last three matches.
- Sheffield United: Dropping to fourth after a 2-0 loss to Leeds, this was their first defeat of the season. Previously, they had six wins and three draws in their first nine games. Despite a -2 points deduction, they remain solid defensively, having conceded just five goals, with two against Leeds being their first in seven games.
Prediction:
Expect a tight, defensive encounter, with both teams aiming to regain form. Sheffield United may have the edge given their strong defensive record.
