Middlesbrough will host Burnley at Riverside on Friday in another round of EFL Championship football. The home side have enjoyed a rejuvenation under manager Michael Carrick and are now pushing for the promotion playoffs. They suffered a shock 4-2 defeat to struggling Huddersfield Town last time out, conceding four goals in the second half after heading into the break with a one-goal lead.
Burnley have enjoyed a brilliant league campaign so far and are outright favorites for an automatic return to the English top-flight. They were held to a goalless draw by Sunderland in their last league outing, struggling to create enough noteworthy chances to get on the scoresheet despite dominating possession.
The visitors sit atop the Championship standings with 84 points from 38 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways when they play on Friday.

Middlesbrough vs Burnley Prediction
Middlesbrough’s latest result ended a four-game unbeaten run and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have not lost a home league game since October last year and will fancy their chances ahead of Friday’s clash.
Burnley are on a run of back-to-back winless outings but have lost just one of their last 20 games across all competitions. They have been solid away from home this season but may have to settle for a point here.

We say: Middlesbrough 1-1 Burnley
A closely-fought contest between two top Championship teams seeking to bounce back from minor setbacks last week could be on the cards at the Riverside, with a victory for either side boosting their hopes of securing promotion.
However, considering Middlesbrough’s strong home form and Burnley’s impressive unbeaten league run, the two sides may cancel each other out on this occasion which could lead to a share of the spoils.
