Burnley will face playoff contenders Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Sunday in an effort to extend their winning streak to four games in a row. The Middlesbrough vs Burnley match will kick off at 20:00 UK time.
It’s safe to say that Middlesbrough, led by Michael Carrick, has had a very inconsistent home record this year. Their record is respectable, as they currently sit seventh in the table, just outside the playoff positions. They have secured victories in only half of their home games, with three draws and three losses accompanying their six wins. They enter this match after two consecutive draws, both ending in a 3-3 scoreline. The first was an exhilarating away match against Plymouth Argyle, followed by an entertaining Boxing Day encounter with Sheffield Wednesday, where the home team let slip a 3-0 lead at halftime against the Owls.
Burnley’s form is exceptional, and Scott Parker will be delighted with his team’s performance, particularly in away matches, where they have secured victories in their last four games while conceding only one goal during this impressive run. They remain unbeaten in their last ten Championship matches, having secured victories in their last three: a 2-1 win away against Norwich, a 2-1 triumph at home over Watford, and a notable 2-0 victory against promotion rivals Sheffield United on Boxing Day. They currently sit in third place in the table, only one point away from the top position.
