The Whites travel with hopes of automatic qualification to a side on an undefeated run of 9 games

Middlesbrough FC led by former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick are currently 9th in the EFL Championship. With just three games left before playoffs begin, the Boro are left 8 points behind the final team who can qualify for the playoffs at the moment. Their plus point right now is that they are on an undefeated run of 9 games.

Leeds United are currently in the third spot. Daniel Farke’s team lost the last game against Blackburn Rovers by 1-0. A win there would have taken them top of the table. At the very least, the Whites will be looking to get in one of the two automatic qualification spots for the Premier League.
