Middlesbrough Preview – Can Boro get back to winning ways?
Middlesbrough will no doubt be relieved to be returning to their Riverside Stadium on Easter Monday following back-to-back defeats away from home at Millwall and Bournemouth in 1-0 and 3-1 losses respectively.
However, Boro still face a tough assignment as they’ll be entertaining automatic promotion hopefuls, Watford, and having lost three out of their last five matches overall, the hosts have now seemingly dropped out of the play-off reckoning as they find themselves seven points adrift of 6th placed Reading.
Boro have won their last two matches on the trot at home though as they’ve dealt with Stoke City and Preston NE amidst a record of 10-3-6 25/18 but they’ve failed to beat their visitors in each of the previous eight meetings.
Watford Preview – Can Watford win seven on trot?
Watford will no doubt be looking to pick up where they left off prior to the international break as The Hornets had strung together an impressive six-match winning streak which has cemented their place in 2nd spot behind Championship leaders, Norwich City, and more importantly, given the visitors a valuable nine-point cushion over 3rd placed Brentford.
Indeed, Watford have won 10 of their last 11 matches overall in the Championship with only a 1-0 defeat away at Bournemouth preventing a clean-sweep for The Hornets during this excellent period of results, while results away from home have also been solid.
Watford have won four of their last five matches on their travels, scoring 10 goals and conceding just 4 in reply and they look set to add to their points tally against Middlesbrough too.
