Recent home/away form

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough's recent home form has been strong, with back-to-back wins against Swansea (2-0) and Sheffield Wednesday (2-0) in their last two games at the Riverside Stadium. These victories followed a run of three games without a win, which included two consecutive defeats against Plymouth Argyle (0-2) and Bristol City (1-2). The 3-1 win against Norwich on March 6th stands out as a particularly high-scoring game during this period. Middlesbrough's defensive record has been impressive in their last six home games, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just five goals in total.

Leeds United

Leeds United's recent away form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six games on the road. They have managed to score in all of these matches, finding the back of the net 10 times at an average of 1.67 goals per game. However, their defense has been somewhat vulnerable, conceding 8 goals in the same period, an average of 1.33 per game. It's worth noting that Leeds United were involved in a couple of high-scoring encounters, including a thrilling 3-2 defeat against Chelsea in the FA Cup and a 2-2 draw with Watford in the Championship. Despite the inconsistent results, Leeds United have maintained their 3rd position in the league, accumulating an impressive 87 points from 43 games.
