Middlesbrough will host Leeds United at the Riverside Stadium in the 41st round of the Championship on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 8:00 PM. Both teams are fighting for promotion, so an exciting match is expected.
Team performance
Middlesbrough:
Middlesbrough have been in excellent form recently, winning five, drawing one and losing one of their last seven games. Their most recent away win was a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, with goals from Tommy Conway and Samuel Iling-Junior, which saw them secure a place in the play-offs.
Leeds United:
Leeds United's form has been mixed recently. They have won one, drawn three and lost two of their last six matches. Their last match was a 1-1 draw away to Luton Town, with Daniel James scoring the equaliser. This result means Leeds have slipped out of the automatic promotion places and are currently third in the table.
Important missing items
Middlesbrough:
Middlesbrough are without a number of key players through injury, including Neto Borges, Dael Fry, George Edmundson and Luke Ayling, and these absences could have a significant impact on their defence against Leeds.
Leeds United:
At Leeds United, Patrick Bamford and Max Wober have recently returned from long-term injuries and are available for selection. Karl Darlow has taken over from Illan Meslier as goalkeeper, with manager Daniel Farke citing his experience and reliability.
Tactical analysis
Middlesbrough:
Manager Michael Carrick is expected to use a 4-2-3-1 formation. Up front, Tommy Conway will be the centre forward, supported by Finn Azaz and Kelechi Iheanacho. In midfield, Hayden Hackney and Aidan Morris will provide stability, while in defence, Anfernee Dijksteel and Rav van den Berg form the inner-back pairing.
Leeds United:
Daniel Farke's side are likely to field a 4-2-3-1 formation. Joel Piroe will be the centre forward, supported by Brenden Aaronson and Daniel James. Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu will control the midfield, while Jayden Bogle and Pascal Struijk will form the inner-back pairing in defence.
Weather conditions
The match is expected to be cool in Middlesbrough, around 10°C, with light winds. Precipitation is unlikely, so the weather will not have a significant impact on the game.
