Burnley vs Middlesbrough Match Preview:
The Clarets are on a three-game winning streak in the league, and they must be brimming with confidence after a thrilling 3-0 win over QPR. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced attacker Jay Rodríguez, who has already scored nine English second-division goals this season. Anass Zaroury is on international duty with Morocco.
Meanwhile, Boro is looking for their fourth straight league win. The visitors are just four points away from the playoff spot, but with Burnley having turned their Turf Moor into a real fortress, a home win must be considered.
In-form midfielder Matt Crooks is pressing to start after scoring a late winner against Luton, while there are no new selection concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to Lancashire.
Burnley vs Middlesbrough Prediction
That is certainly true for Middlesbrough. Victory at Turf Moor would be a huge blow to land their nearest rivals and they could seal their return to the Premier League as early as Saturday when they host Ipswich if that happens. They have won all of their last 6 league games but have by no means swept teams.
Their last 3 wins have all been by 1 goal and the last two have come courtesy of 90th-minute winners. Adam Forshaw’s goal at home against Reading and Jordan Rhode’s last gasp at Bolton on Saturday have been crucial victories and It’s sure to be another 90 minutes of jitters for Boro fans here.
Burnley’s unbeaten run in the Championship now stands at an impressive 19 games, but you will be well aware that Boro was the team to end a similar run for Brighton earlier in the season with a 3-0 win on the south coast. Burnley’s last 5 games have been close games with 3 draws before their 1-0 win at home to Leeds and a 2-1 win at Birmingham on Saturday.
They weren’t very good at St Andrew’s but they claimed all 3 points and at this stage of the season that’s all that matters.
