Despite Middlesbrough having little motivation in the remaining matches of this season, I believe this match will not be an easy one for Leeds.

Match Stats

Boro currently stands as a solid mid-table team in this season's Championship. They have accumulated 63 points from 43 matches, placing them in ninth position in the league table. With three rounds remaining, Middlesbrough trails the playoff zone by nine points. While they still retain theoretical chances of making it to the playoffs, these prospects are exceedingly slim despite their fairly decent recent results. In their last five matches, they've secured two victories and three draws. Moreover, they haven't suffered a defeat since March 2nd, registering nine matches without loss.The Whites are currently one of the leaders in this season's Championship campaign. With 87 points from 43 matches, they sit in third place in the league table, trailing Ipswich by just two points. Furthermore, their gap from the league leaders is only four points. Therefore, a victory in this match could propel Leeds up the table, which would be beneficial as securing direct promotion to the Premier League is preferable to playoff contention. However, their recent performances have not been particularly encouraging, with two defeats, two draws, and only one victory in their last few matches.
