Team News

Middlesbrough
Rotherham
  • Michael Carrick could hand starts to Marcus Forss and Hayden Hackney after the pair were named on the bench against Millwall.
  • The home side have five confirmed absentees for the visit of Rotherham, alongside three players on international duty.
  • Leam Richardson could make one change to the side that faced Stoke last weekend with Jamie Lindsay returning in central midfield.
  • The Millers have six injuries to contend with ahead of their trip to the Riverside on Saturday afternoon.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough found themselves behind after just ten minutes against Millwall last time out, but the Teessiders struck back in style en route to a 3-1 away win in London. Home form remains a concern for Michael Carrick's side, but this fixture offers a good opportunity to improve their record at the Riverside.
  • Rotherham had no response to Lewis Baker's stunning first-half free-kick last weekend as they succumbed to a 1-0 home defeat against an in-form Stoke side. Leam Richardson's side are now winless in their last three league outings and remain eight points adrift from safety.
