Team News

Middlesbrough
Coventry
  • Michael Carrick could make one change to the side that faced Norwich with Luke Ayling replacing Anfernee Dijksteel at right-back.
  • Dael Fry and Darragh Lenihan are among six confirmed absentees in the Middlesbrough camp.
  • Mark Robins could make two changes for the trip to the Riverside Stadium with Jay Dasilva and Jack Rudoni stepping into the starting XI.
  • Goalkeeper Ben Wilson and midfielder Jamie Allen are the headline absentees from a four-man Coventry injury list.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough enjoyed a near-faultless first half at Carrow Road last weekend, heading into the break with a 3-1 lead. However, the Teessiders crumbled late on, conceding twice in a nine-minute spell as they were forced to settle for a point following a 3-3 draw. Michael Carrick's side have now won just one of their last four Championship matches.
  • Coventry produced one of their best performances of the season last Saturday, attempting 26 shots as they came from 2-0 down to beat Luton 3-2 on home soil. Mark Robins has been feeling the heat following a miserable start to the campaign, but the Sky Blues will hope that their dominant display against the Hatters will kickstart their season.

  • Boro often slip up against teams the should beat. They’ll make it difficult for themselves but should win. Not a top home win though
