Middlesbrough vs Leeds Predictions

• Both teams have not scored in four of Middlesbrough’s last five home games
• Both teams have not scored in six of Leeds’ last nine away Championship matches
• Boro have kept three consecutive home clean sheets and won three of their last four at the Riverside Stadium

Farke no longer walks on water

The pressure of playing after their promotion rivals could adversely affect Leeds when they face Middlesbrough on Monday night.

Daniel Farke’s side have let too many points slip from their grasp lately as doubts grow both on and off the field.

Whites fans that hailed Farke as a genius a few weeks ago are now questioning his every selection and substitution.

Defences on top in tension-filled fixture

Middlesbrough, meanwhile, are unbeaten in nine games with five wins and four draws since the first week of March.

Michael Carrick’s side finally appear to have found the consistency needed for a play-off push, although it has probably arrived too late for them to sneak into the top six. Boro have tightened up at the back while producing a regular goal threat, despite still missing some key attacking players.

Goals could be scarce in this tension-filled fixture and with Boro now so stubborn at the back, it may be profitable to oppose both teams scoring.
