Middlesbrough aims to boost their promotion chances with a match against Birmingham City tonight.
Currently, Kim Hellberg’s team holds the second spot in the Championship, but their lead over the play-off positions has narrowed. Millwall is now just one point behind Middlesbrough, having played one more match, while fourth-placed Ipswich trails by only three points with a game in hand.
Hellberg understands the importance of this match, especially since Birmingham is also struggling to secure a play-off spot. The hosts have shown improvement and have only lost once in their last nine league matches.
Middlesbrough team news
There are no new injury updates for Middlesbrough ahead of this game. Darragh Lenihan remains out due to a long-term injury, along with Alfie Jones and Alex Bangurua.
After a disappointing draw with Leicester, Hellberg might consider making changes, with Dael Fry and Jeremy Sarmiento vying for starting roles.
