Match Facts
Middlesbrough have lost two of their last 13 league games against Plymouth Argyle (W7 D4), losing in 1989 and 2009.
This is Plymouth’s first away league game against Middlesbrough since October 2009, when they won 1-0 with a goal from Jamie Mackie.
Middlesbrough have won one of their last seven home league games (D2 L4), a 1-0 win over West Brom in December. They are winless in four at the Riverside (D2 L2).
Only Rotherham have picked up fewer away points in the Championship this season than Plymouth Argyle (9 – W1 D6 L9). Indeed, their only away win came in Wales at Swansea, meaning their last away league win on English soil was at Port Vale back in May.
Middlesbrough’s Finn Azaz was directly involved in 28 goals in 60 league appearances for Plymouth across the last two seasons (15 goals, 13 assists). He’s scored two and assisted one goal in his last three league games for current side Middlesbrough.
