Match Facts
Middlesbrough have failed to win any of their last eight home league games against Blackburn Rovers (D6 L2); only once previously have Boro gone nine home games without victory against an opponent in the second tier, with that also occurring against the Rovers between 1970 and 1992.
Blackburn Rovers have won three of their last four league games against Middlesbrough (L1) and could record a league double over Boro for the first time since the 2006-07 Premier League season.
Middlesbrough have lost eight home league games this season (W7 D3), last losing more at the Riverside Stadium in a campaign in 2019-20 (9).
Blackburn Rovers have won just one of their last 16 games in the Championship (D7 L8), a 3-1 win at Stoke last month.
Blackburn’s Sammie Szmodics has scored in each of his last three league appearances but hasn’t won any of those games (D2 L1); the Rovers forward has scored in more matches without ending on the winning side than any other player in the Championship this season (11 – D5 L6).
