FulhamPreview – Can Fulham strengthen play-off spot?
Friday night’s hosts, Fulham, have certainly turned their recent form around in positive fashion as The Cottagers following just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches overall in the Championship and this recent spike in results has maintained Scott Parker’s side’s challenge for a top six finish.
The hosts had previously had to endure a concerning 3-match losing streak which consisted of defeats to Bristol City, Preston North End and Brentford, but Fulham have since responded in encouraging fashion by picking up important wins against 2nd placed Leeds United along with victories over Stoke City and Hull City.
Fulham have also won 4 of their last 6 matches on home turf at Craven Cottage amidst an overall home record of 8-2-4 25/16 along with being the fourth highest goalscorers at home in the Championship so far this season.
Fulham have lost just 1 of their last 7 meetings against Middlesbrough too.
MiddlesbroughPreview – Can Middlesbrough continue revival?
A 5-match unbeaten sequence since just before Christmas has seen a remarkable turnaround in form for Jonathan Woodgate’s Middlesbrough outfit as Boro take a solid set of results with them down to the nation’s capital for this important Friday night clash at Craven Cottage.
Middlesbrough have picked up recent wins against Stoke City, Huddersfield Town, West Brom and Preston North End which has not only lifted the visitors away from the relegation zone and into 16th place in the Championship, but also the spirits around the club in general.
There’s now a feeling of onwards and upwards for Boro as they prepare for their trip to face Fulham and they won’t be fazed by their high-flying opponents as Middlesbrough have won their last two away matches on the trot.
However, before we get too carried away it should be noted that Boro have won just 3 of their last 15 away matches in the second tier.
