Middlesbrough form and stats

5-5-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Middlesbrough in their Championship matches away.

Middlesbrough delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Cardiff City (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Championship game. A loss against Bristol City was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The schedule is very tough for Middlesbrough now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Swansea City is waiting in only four days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Middlesbrough have scored 18 goals in 16 league games away. As opposed to that, Middlesbrough have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
