Competition: Championship
Market: Middlesbrough draw no bet
Odds: 11/10 @ 888sport
With the chance to potentially climb into the top-two on Tuesday night, a high-flying Middlesbrough will make the trip to Ewood Park looking to continue on their extended purple patch.
Starting with the hosts, while Blackburn might have found themselves really enjoying life prior to October’s international break, Tony Mowbray’s men have came crashing back down to earth in worrying fashion. Last seen over the weekend putting in another sluggish display on their travels, the Lancashire outfit were hit with a 2-0 defeat away at Swansea and they have continued freefalling down the Championship table. Now appearing someway off mounting any kind of top-six charge this time around, the Rovers have managed to collect just three points over their last five second-tier contests since returning from the international break. Hit with back-to-back losses at Ewood Park, including that dramatic 4-2 hammering at the hands of Reading, Blackburn should be in for another tough test on Tuesday night.
As for the visitors, while Blackburn might find themselves in the midst of an extended rut, Middlesbrough have continued to impress many across the Championship since bringing in the experienced Neil Warnock. Last seen over the weekend picking up a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday and finding their way into the play-off spots, the former Sheffield United boss now finds his side in the midst of a staggering eight-match unbeaten run either side of October’s international break. Collecting 10 points over their last four Championship appearances and the mood in their camp at a red-hot high, Warnock will be most impressed by his side’s continued performances at the back. Shipping just a single goal in over 450 minutes of action, it should also be noted that they have lost just one of their last four meetings against Blackburn.
