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

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

Middlesbrough snapped a five-game winless run in midweek with a timely 3-1 victory at Stoke on Tuesday evening and with their confidence restored, they can approach Saturday\u2019s test against Derby at the Riverside with renewed vigour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boro (11th<\/sup>) have struggled for wins since the turn of the year, however, they remain just four points behind Blackburn in 6th<\/sup> and are still very much in the playoff picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finn Azaz and Marcus Forss ended lengthy dry spells in Middlesbrough\u2019s midweek success and boss Michael Carrick will hope both attackers can kick on from here. Boro are favourites to prevail on Saturday on the best betting apps<\/a> and the hosts look well-positioned to harness home advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Riley McGree, Darragh Lenihan, Alex Bangura, Thomas Smith, Ben Doak, Jonathan Howson, Solomon Brynn and Seny Dieng could be missing for Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup: <\/strong>Travers, Dijksteel, Fry, Edmundson, Borges, Morris, Hackney, Forss, Whittaker, Azaz, Conway<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derby<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Life under new manager John Eustace hasn\u2019t exactly been rosy so far for Derby County and the Rams failed to pick up a point \u2013 or even score a goal \u2013 in their new head honcho\u2019s first two games in charge against QPR (0-4) and Millwall (0-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derby failed to land a single shot on target in their narrow loss to Millwall last weekend and if Eustace was unsure of the monumental task he had to keep County up, the 45-year-old\u2019s eyes will be fully open now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rams haven\u2019t won a Championship fixture since Boxing Day and with a haul of just two goals from their last nine league matches combined, it\u2019s easy to see why Derby have been priced as underdogs on EFL betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Corey Blackett-Taylor, Kane Wilson, Dajaune Brown and Curtis Nelson could all be out of action for Derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup:<\/strong> Widell-Zetterstrom, Nyambe, Langas, Clarke, Osborn, Adams, Ozoh, Jackson, Yates, Goudmijn, Salvesen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
