Middlesbrough - Preston North End: Form Analysis

Middlesbrough come into this match having won seven of their last nine matches. Their most recent game ended in a 1-1 draw with Stoke City, which marked a third undefeated outing. They have scored at least once in all but one of the last seven matches, however, on the defensive end, they have not been as impressive and have kept just three clean sheets. Middlesbrough's home form is impressive, going into this game; they are unbeaten in the last six matches, winning five of them.

Preston North End have not been as rampant in attack as Middlesbrough have but they have been strong defensively and have kept four clean sheets from their last seven matches. They will use this to frustrate a team in good form coming into this match and one they have had considerable success against in recent seasons. In each of the last three meetings between these two sides, Preston has run out winners. They have one loss only in the last five matches against Middlesbrough. Further, Preston have only lost to league leaders Burnley in their last six away matches.

Middlesbrough & Preston North End Squad Analysis

Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick has no injury concerns after his team’s 1-1 draw with Stoke last time out and will pick potentially the same starting eleven. Chuba Akpom has been lethal in front of goal and leads all scorers in the league with 23 goals. He will be the man to watch here. Aaron Ramsey and Cameron Archer have also been among the goal scorers alongside Akpom and will surely try to get in on the act against Preston.

For Preston, Ched Evans is the one to watch. The former Fleetwood Town striker has managed nine goals in the league and scored the winner against Rotherham United last time out. Thomas Cannon should also play a pivotal role for Preston here as he has been involved in four of Preston’s last six goals (three goals and one assist).

Our Middlesbrough vs Preston North End Prediction

Middlesbrough have been on the receiving end against Preston plenty of times, especially in recent seasons. However, as they seek to keep hot on the heels of second-placed Sheffield United, seeking revenge should give them extra motivation to want to win here. An impressive run at home should complement that. We predict that Middlesbrough v Preston North End will end in a win for the home team.

Middlesbrough wins the match
