    Middlesbrough will look to retain their good form from their previous two matches as they cross the border to visit Swansea City on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

    A run of five consecutive losses saw Boro out of the top 10, but wins over Derby County and Stoke City now see them back on track with a play off spot just two points away.

    While the Swans held their nerve against Preston North End last time out to go 10 points clear of relegation.

    • Swansea City have failed to win any of their last seven league games against Middlesbrough (D1 L6), since a 2-1 win in March 2021.

    • Middlesbrough have won each of their last five league games against Swansea City, as many victories as across their prior 16 matches against the Swans (D4 L7).

    • Swansea City won 3-0 against Blackburn at Liberty Stadium in their last home game. They haven't won consecutive home league games without conceding since April 2024.

    • Middlesbrough have won their last two Championship matches, having lost five in a row beforehand. They are looking for three consecutive wins for the first time since November 2024.

    • Finn Azaz has created 2.4 chances per 90 minutes in the Championship for Middlesbrough this season. Among players to play 2,000+ minutes in a Championship season for Boro, that is the best ratio since Grant Leadbitter in 2014-15 (2.6 per 90).
