Birmingham City, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Millwall will not have sat easily with the Birmingham City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Tony Mowbray will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Queens Park Rangers. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Queens Park Rangers' tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 games on the road.
Goalscorer Emmanuel Latte Lath will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Middlesbrough.
It was not a positive ending for Birmingham City last time they met Middlesbrough in the league, with the game ending in a 1-0 defeat.
From their past 10 away matches in the league against Birmingham, The Boro have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. Goals come easy for Middlesboro when they travel to The Blues, having recorded 9 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 3 goals per match.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams at St. Andrew's Stadium, Middlesboro has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Birmingham in 3 games.
With only Krystian Bielik (Groin) and Alfie Chang (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Tony Mowbray will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With both Darragh Lenihan (Achilles tendon) and Tommy Smith (Achilles tendon) being out for the rest of the season and Alex Bangura (Leg), Josh Coburn (Groin), Dael Fry (Groin) and Hayden Hackney (Knee) all unavailable in the shorter term, Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
