After a crushing 3-0 away loss to Coventry City, the Middlesbrough squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad.  They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Coventry City's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.  

With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.  

When home matches come round at Riverside Stadium, Chuba Akpom will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 home league matches.

With Leicester City sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Huddersfield Town won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 home defeat by them last time out.  In that game they had 30% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Leicester City who had 16 attempts and 5 on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Neil Warnock will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
