PREVIEW | Middlesbrough vs Leeds United - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Middlesbrough and Leeds United go head-to-head at Riverside Stadium this Tuesday in the EFL Championship. The match will be broadcast live at 20:00 on Sky Sports Football.

Middlesbrough currently have 60 points and lie in 5th position. Last time out, Michael Carrick's team triumphed 0-2 against Blackburn Rovers (EFL Championship 2024/2025).

Leeds United currently have 82 points and lie in 3rd position. In their last fixture, Daniel Farke's team shared the spoils 1-1 with Luton Town (EFL Championship 2024/2025).

The last meeting between the two teams ended with Leeds United winning 3-1.

The Fan Zone

Sam Bevan (All Day LUFC): More dropped points for Daniel Farke’s side makes it 1 win in 6 and dropped down to third place for the first time since December.

Better first half performance vs Luton but second half was equally poor from the players and Farke himself. With the game level all half, bringing three defenders on at the 86 minute mark causes questions of Farke’s mentality.

Simply have to bounce back with a win but away against a resurgent Boro side where we’ve had extremely close games in recent years, is another potential banana skin.

Prediction: 2-2
