Preview

The head‑to‑head record between these two teams couldn't be more balanced, since there were 1 draw and 2 wins for each team in the last 5 head‑to‑heads. Sunderland registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The home team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 44 points won, after 12 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against West Bromwich Albion, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Preston North End, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. For the league, Middlesbrough won 18 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches.

Middlesbrough go into this match demotivated after a 2-1 defeat away to Preston, with the only goal for the team scored by Delano Burgzorg. The home side typically play in a 4-3-3 tactical system, focusing on quick transitions, especially through the flanks. In this setup, the three most advanced players, responsible for causing havoc in the opponent’s defence, are Delano Burgzorg, Ben Doak, and Marcus Forss. It is worth noting that the player tasked with directing the team's offensive play is midfielder Finn Azaz. Tommy Smith, Darragh Lenihan, Sol Brynn, Alex Bangura, Seny Dieng, and Emmanuel Latte Lath are all unavailable for this game due to fitness issues.

Confirmed Lineup: Mark Travers, Luke Ayling, George Edmundson, Ryan Giles, Rav van den Berg, Finn Azaz, Hayden Hackney, Aidan Morris, Marcus Forss, Morgan Whittaker, Delano Burgzorg.
Coach: C. Wilder.

In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Derby County, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Plymouth Argyle, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 9 wins and 6 draws at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Sunderland has a record of 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 15 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 15 matches for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals.

Sunderland go into this match after a 2-2 draw at home to Plymouth, with the team's goals scored by Wilson Isidor and Trai Hume. The away side typically play in a 4-4-2 tactical setup, with the two players responsible for causing panic in the opponent's defence being Eliezer Mayenda and Wilson Isidor. Therefore, even playing away from home, Sunderland are expected to adopt a more offensive approach, as they need to secure all three points. Aji Alese, Tom Watson, Romaine Mundle, and Niall Huggins are all unavailable for this game due to fitness issues.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Patterson, Luke O'Nien, Chris Mepham, Dennis Cirkin, Trai Hume, Daniel Neil, Enzo Le Fée, Jobe Bellingham, Chris Rigg, Wilson Isidor, Patrick Roberts.
