Stats


  • Middlesbrough have drawn 3 of their last 4 Championship home games.
  • Middlesbrough are unbeaten in their last 4 at home against Sunderland. 
  • Sunderland have drawn 3 of their previous 4 matches. 

Head to Head


Sunderland have a 63-52 advantage against Middlesbrough in 154 meetings with 39 draws. Boro held the Black Cats to a 1-1 draw in their last meeting at the Riverside. 

Middlesbrough Form


Middlesbrough’s form has tailed off recently and the North East side are winless in seven of their last eight. Two Championship wins in eight leaves Boro outside the play-offs on goal difference.

Michael Carrick’s team have taken most of their recent points at home, winning and drawing three of their last six. Boro were winless in three consecutive games before defeating West Brom 2-0 at the Riverside.

The Teesside outfit fell to a third defeat in four after a 2-1 loss at Preston. Delano Burgzorg scored in the second half to cancel out Preston’s opener but Boro conceded again with 12 minutes remaining. 

Middlesbrough Injuries


Defenders Tommy Smith and Alex Bangura are set to miss out with injuries. 

Midfielder Darragh Lenihan and striker Emmanuel Latte Lath are sidelined due to injury. 

Goalkeepers Sol Brynn and Seny Dieng are also unavailable here.

Sunderland Form 


Sunderland have drifted out of the Championship title race after a downturn in form. The Black Cats are winless in four of their previous seven, drawing three and are fourth in the table. 

The Wearside club drew two in a row at Stoke 1-1 in the FA Cup and 0-0 against Burnley. They followed those stalemates with a 1-0 victory over Derby.

Inconsisten form continued for Regis Le Bris’ side on Saturday following a 2-2 draw at bottom side Plymouth. Sunderland conceded first and Wilson Isidor and Trai Hume replied before the Black Cats conceded a 90th-minute equaliser. 

Sunderland Injuries


Defenders Niall Huggins, Aji Alese and Jenson Seelt are out here due to injury. 

Midfield trio Romaine Mundle, Tom Watson and Alan Browne are also injured and unlikely to feature. 

Verdict

Middlesbrough and Sunderland are in similar form and have seen a lot of draws recently. It's hard to see that trend changing here and the inconsistent sides can notch a point apiece.
