Middlesbrough
Wednesday’s football game at MKM Stadium pits together Hull City and Middlesbrough, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Tigers aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Blackburn, but they face an uphill task against the promotion-chasing Boro. With no fresh injury worries to report, Ruben Selles is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Riversiders at the weekend.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough played out a boring goalless draw with Burnley at the weekend. The visitors are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and given Hull City’s poor home record, away win should be considered. It has to be noted that the Tigers have won only one of their last eight home games in the Championship. In their last encounter in the Championship, Middlesbrough defeated Hull City 3-1. The likes of Ayling, Dieng, Forss, Morris, and Smith should miss out for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough is a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
