The match

After reviving their promotion playoff chances with three successive wins, Middlesbrough (sixth, 67 points) will travel to Nottingham Forest (13th, 57 points) with an objective of solidifying their chances. The hosts have lost their last four Championship matches and are no longer in the race for top-six places. With just 54 goals conceded, Forest have the eight-best defensive record of the season. Their record at home is still impressive, with the club recording five wins in their last seven Championship matches at this venue (W5, L2). After a winless run of seven Championship matches where they have lost six straight games, Middlesbrough picked up the pieces and have won three straight games – all with clean sheets. They are just three points ahead of the eighth-placed Derby County and are aware of the perils of dropping the points. With just 36 goals conceded, Middlesbrough have the best defensive record of the division. However, with just 45 goals scored they have the fourth-worst scoring record of the season. Playing away from home, Middlesbrough have struggled to close out games and have won just two of their last six away games (W2, D1, L3).

Key Statistics

  • Nottingham Forest have seen under 2.5 goals in three of their last four matches against Middlesbrough.
  • There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 31 of Middlesbrough’s 43 Championship matches.
  • Both teams scored in just 16 of Middlesbrough’s 43 Championship matches.

The bet of our experts

After an uncertain period where they kept losing games, Middlesbrough have come back in contention for the promotion playoff places. They still need to keep winning, as the race is tight. A trip to Nottingham Forest, who have nothing much to play in the season, could be the elixir. As has been with most of their matches, Middlesbrough could see a low-scoring encounter in this match.
