The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Middlesbrough are in the 16th position while the guests worry at 17th.

Middlesbrough and Derby County should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Middlesbrough form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Middlesbrough have managed 6 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Middlesbrough has won four games in a row. The Swansea City match was the last time out without a victory. Middlesbrough has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Riverside. We remember; it was Hull City.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Aynsley Pears not having conceded a league goal in 307 minutes.

The points were shared in Middlesbrough's previous game, also at home. Visiting Tottenham Hotspur travelled back with a point after a 1-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Preston North End and winning 2-0.

Middlesbrough aren't scoring a lot here at Riverside in the league, with only 12 goals from 13 games. From these home matches, Middlesbrough have conceded only 11 goals.

Derby County form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Derby County so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

Two travels in a row for Derby County, whose manager P. Cocu could celebrate last time after the FA Cup win against Crystal Palace. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Barnsley.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Derby County as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. Derby County have conceded 23 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Derby County - Middlesbrough 2-0, played this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Middlesbrough, 3 draws and 2 wins for Derby County. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 8 games.
