Preview

On December 26, Middlesbrough were hosting Blackburn in the Championship of England. They played out a 0-0 draw.

The spotlight turns to the field where Middlesbrough and Blackburn prepare to meet again, 9 months after the previous Championship encounter that concluded in a 0-2 victory for Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough come into this match following a defeat to Bristol City on December 20, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance. Focusing on defensive improvements could pave the way for better results, as they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, having conceded goals in each of their last eleven matches.

Adding further support are Tommy Conway, Callum Brittain and Luke Ayling, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Blackburn’s offensive unit, under Valerien Ismael’s management, has leaned on Yuki Ohashi, their main scorer, and Andri Gudjohnsen, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Ohashi has already scored seven goals in Championship this season, with Morishita topping their assist tally in the competition with three.
