Team News

Middlesbrough
Ipswich
  • Sam Greenwood was ineligible to face parent club Leeds last weekend but should return to the starting XI here.
  • With Anfernee Dijksteel and Isaiah Jones suspended and Paddy McNair now injured, Lukas Engel could start at right-back.
  • Expect an unchanged starting XI from Kieran McKenna on Saturday following a composed performance against Coventry.
  • Experienced midfielder Lee Evans is the Tractor Boys' only injury concern ahead of the trip to the Riverside.
  • Massimo Luongo and Brandon Williams are suspended.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough's clash with Leeds last weekend produced five goals in the first half and none in the second as they came out on the wrong side of a 3-2 thriller at Elland Road. Home form remains an asset for Michael Carrick's side, who have won five of their last six at the Riverside.
  • Wes Burns scored one of the goals of the season so far last weekend as his outside-of-the-boot strike helped Ipswich to a 2-1 home victory against Mark Robins' Coventry side. Kieran McKenna's men are keeping pace with the ferocious pace set by the top four with three wins from their last four league outings.
