Middlesbrough vs Watford Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Middlesbrough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A dismal run of five defeats in six matches has dented Middlesbrough\u2019s Championship playoff chances and in their current form, struggling Boro look likelier to finish in midtable than the top six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middlesbrough\u2019s issues have been rooted in defence and they failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven Championship assignments, shipping a galling six goals in their last two matches alone against Sunderland (2-3) and Sheffield United (1-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest odds on Championship betting sites<\/a> suggest that Michael Carrick\u2019s outfit only have a slim chance of securing promotion this season, though a win over Watford at the Riverside Stadium would return some optimism to the north east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Middlesbrough could be without the services of Jonathan Howson, Darrah Lenihan, Josh Coburn, Alex Bangura, Riley McGee and Anfernee Dijksteel this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup: <\/strong>Travers, Ayling, Van den Berg, Edmundsson, Giles, Morris, Hackney, Iling-Junior, Azaz, Burgzorg, Iheanacho<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watford<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Things have been going from bad to worse for Tom Cleverley as he prepares to face his old Manchester United teammate Michael Carrick on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watford were hammered 4-0 at home by Leeds in their last Championship tussle and that was the Hornets\u2019 seventh loss in their last ten games in the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Watford made themselves a nuisance in their last away fixture, holding title-chasing Sunderland to a 2-2 draw in what was a stiff test and the visitors could be awkward customers again when they return to England\u2019s north east on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Kwadwo Baah, Pierre Dwomoh and Daniel Bachmann are all sidelined for Watford and will sit Saturday’s game out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup:<\/strong> Selvik, Andrews, Abankwah, Pollock, Ngakia, Louza, Dele-Bashiru, Sissoko, Kayembe, Chakvetadze, Doumbia <\/p>\n\n\n\n
