    Middlesbrough return to the Riverside Stadium on Boxing Day seeking to get back on track as they host Blackburn Rovers. The home side are firmly in the promotion race. They start this round of matches six points behind leaders Coventry City and five points clear of third-placed Ipswich Town. After winning their first four games under new manager Kim Hellberg, Boro tasted defeat for the first time last weekend away at Bristol City, and will be keen to respond quickly. Blackburn, managed by Valerien, are still near the lower end of the Championship table. However, they come into this game with renewed confidence after a 2–0 home win over Millwall, with goals from Andri and Yuki Ohashi. Both forwards have been in good form and give Rovers a real threat going forward.

      EFL Championship: Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers Middlesbrough will host Blackburn Rovers in an important match in the EFL Championship, as both teams aim to improve their positions in the league table. Middlesbrough are currently sitting 2nd in the Championship standings, showing fairly consistent form this season. They come into this match with solid home performances and often look confident when facing direct competitors on their own ground. Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers are 20th in the table, with their main objective being survival. However, their away form has been inconsistent, and defensive mistakes have cost them points in recent matches. To achieve a positive result, Blackburn will need to stay compact defensively and make the most of counter-attacking opportunities. In terms of head-to-head records, Middlesbrough and Blackburn have not faced each other frequently in recent times, and their last meeting was quite a long while ago. Based on current form, the advantage looks

      Middlesbrough VS Blackburn Rovers In this round of the EFL Championship, Middlesbrough will host a in - form Blackburn Rovers. Both teams are eager to win to improve their positions in the league table. Middlesbrough has shown a strong attacking desire in recent performances. In the past ten games, they have won 5, drawn 2. Their win rate is 50%, the unbeaten rate is 60%, and the big - goal rate is 70%. Although they have been excellent in attack, their defensive instability was exposed in the previous away game, where they lost 1 - 3 to Bristol City (conceding 2 goals in the first half). Moreover, in recent encounters, they defeated Coventry 4 - 2 and Queen's Park Rangers 1 - 3, indicating a trend of high - scoring games and good form. Leyton Orient defeated Millwall 2-0 at home in their last league game, finally ending a five - game winless streak. However, their overall recent performance is still unsatisfactory. The team's offense has become more stable, but the stability of their

      Middlesbrough VS Blackburn Rovers After Kim Hellberg took over at Middlesbrough, they won four consecutive games. When everyone thought they could continue to defeat Bristol City, they lost 0:2. At that time, Middlesbrough changed their formation to a three - back system, which didn't seem to work. It's estimated that Hellberg will revert to a four - back formation today. Riley McGree is also out due to a hamstring injury. In Blackburn's squad, Alebiosu is participating in the Africa Cup of Nations. However, since he is not a regular starter, the impact is minimal. Let's analyze how to make a choice based on the data and trends. The point gap between the two sides is quite large. Middlesbrough's initial odds today are only a 0.5-goal handicap, which is not sufficient. Previously, when they faced Queens Park Rangers and Derby County, teams with higher rankings and stronger strength, the odds were close to a 0.75-goal handicap. Now, when facing Blackburn Rovers, a team in the lower part

    More Tips
    • Cercle Brugge welcome Union Saint-Gilloise in a Pro League clash that seems fairly one-sided on recent evidence. The head-to-head history slightly favors the visitors, with Union winning 10 of the last 21 meetings compared to Cercles six, while five ended level. Although Cercle did win the most recent encounter 20, the broader trend tells a different story. Form is a major separator here. Cercle Brugge have struggled badly at home, picking up just 0.6 points per game this season. Union Saint-Gilloise, on the other hand, have been impressive on their travels, averaging 1.6 points per away match and showing far greater consistency.

    • Cardiff City head into this clash with history firmly on their side. In meetings between the two teams, the Bluebirds have edged the overall record, and recent encounters have been especially one-sided. Cardiff have won their last six matches against Exeter, keeping four clean sheets along the way, and they are unbeaten in the last eight meetings. In fact, Exeters last win over Cardiff in open play dates all the way back to 1996. Form also favours the home side. Cardiff have lost just once in their last six games, winning five, and they have carried strong momentum into this fixture. Since dropping down from the Championship, they have quickly made their mark in League One and look every bit like promotion contenders.

    • Egypt opened their Group B campaign at the 2025/26 AFCON with a win, though the performance was far from polished, and they now face fellow opening-day victors South Africa in what seems like a far more open contest. The Pharaohs lacked rhythm in the final third, but their attacking depth remains decisive. With Salah and Marmoush providing elite quality, backed by Trezeguet and Mostafa Mohamed, Egypt always carry the firepower to change a game even when not at their best. South Africa, encouraged by their own winning start, will also fancy their chances going forward and should not approach this fixture cautiously.
