Middlesbrough Preview – Will Boro to bounce back with a massive three points?
Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough made a good start to their season, spending the majority of the first half of the campaign in and around the play-off places. However, the Teessiders have been in poor form of late.
Since a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 20th January, Middlesbrough have taken just one point from their following five. In recent weeks, they have been beaten by the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Rotherham United, Brentford and Derby County.
After five defeats in seven Championship matches, Warnock’s boys have slipped down to eighth in the table, six points behind sixth-place Bournemouth. Middlesbrough will be desperate to get their promotion bid back on track with three points at home on Tuesday. The bookies have Boro as their 4/5 favourites.
Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers avoid another damaging defeat?
Like Middlesbrough, Huddersfield Town also find themselves in poor form at present. Carlos Corberan’s troops head to the Riverside Stadium having failed to win any of their last eight league and cup matches, losing six and drawing two.
Huddersfield have taken a mere two points from the last 21 on offer in the Championship. Town have not won a league game since Mahamadou-Naby Sarr netted a brace in a 2-1 home win over Blackburn Rovers in late December.

With neither team in good form, Tuesday’s Championship clash at the Riverside Stadium is a tough one to call. Middlesbrough may be the slight favourites on their own patch, but Warnock’s men have not won at home since mid-December and have lost each of their last four at the Riverside. We can see Huddersfield battling to a draw (13/5) in midweek.
Despite their poor form, Huddersfield have only failed to score in two of their past 11 league and cup matches. With that in mind, put some money on the draw and both teams to score, which is available at the decent price of 4/1.
