Middlesbrough host Blackburn Rovers at Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough on Tuesday, Mar 2 at 8:45 PM in the Championship.
Middlesbrough come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Blackburn Rovers travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Middlesbrough face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Blackburn Rovers have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Middlesbrough won 1–2.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Middlesbrough clear favorites, but Blackburn Rovers have shown they can grind out results. Expect Middlesbrough to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
