Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Watford.  They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Watford's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 11 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 19 of their 21 played at Portman Road this season.  

Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 19 games in a row.

Last time out for Middlesbrough resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 2-2 draw against Hull City in a match they really wanted to win.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Hull City had 18 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

Manager Michael Carrick will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 8 goals.  They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches, and playing away from home this season, they have scored in 18 of their 21 games.  

There will be mixed feelings from The Boro, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.  

Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Middlesbrough, Emmanuel Latte Lath will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
