Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

On December 26, Middlesbrough are hosting Blackburn in the Championship of England. The match kicks off at 15:00 UTC.

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. With victories over QPR, Charlton Athletic, Hull City and Derby County, Middlesbrough is on a roll, so they'll aim to keep their winning momentum going with a victory over Blackburn. Still, their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last ten matches. Middlesbrough have an important match to navigate before facing Blackburn though, taking on Bristol City in Championship, a game that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Blackburn.

Blackburn, in comparison, are preparing for the match after a loss against Portsmouth in the Championship last Saturday, unable to secure a win in their last five games. Before Middlesbrough, they will play Millwall in Championship, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Middlesbrough. Their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last seven matches in a row.

This Championship encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Middlesbrough and Blackburn throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Middlesbrough’s attacking options, guided by Kim Hellberg, have been bolstered by Morgan Whittaker, the team’s top scorer, and Hayden Hackney, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Whittaker leads Middlesbrough’s scoring charts in Championship this season with eight goals, while Hackney remains their top assist provider in the competition with five. 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 Todd Cantwell, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Ohashi has already scored six goals in Championship this season, with Morishita topping their assist tally in the competition with three. Andri Gudjohnsen, Ryan Alebiosu and Ryan Hedges have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Blackburn’s attack.
