Boro to win it
We start our predictions for this match by backing Middlesbrough to win. We've already mentioned that they won last time out and that means they've now taken seven points from the last 12 available to them; that's not too shabby in terms of. Spout a return given where they are in the league. Things look even better for Boro when you look at how Bristol City have been performing over recent weeks; the Robins have won just one of their last five games and are winless across their past three. It's also worth noting that Bristol City lost on their previous visit to the Riverside, which was just last season. With marginally better form, a new manager in place and home advantage Middlesbrough should edge this.
Both teams to score
The both teams to score prediction we bring you now isn't as nailed on as you might want but at 4/5 (1.80) we think it's well worth a punt. The reason we mention that little caveat of it not being nailed on is purely down to the form Bristol City have scored; only two of their last five games have seen both teams score. Middlesbrough, however, have seen both teams score in four of their last five matches whilst the head to head games between these two show each of the last three meetings featuring goals at both ends. With all that considered, we think this bet represents good value.

Can Boro build on Carrick's first win?
Middlesbrough are languishing down in the lower region of the table right now and are seemingly in a relegation battle. Bristol City meanwhile are only two points ahead of them. With the Robins sat in mid table though the mood around them is somewhat brighter. The atmosphere around both sides could transform depending on the result here though.
Middlesbrough might be in the bottom quartile of the league right now but with Michael Carrick overseeing his first win in charge and with no injuries or suspension impacting the squad they'll be looking forward to getting back on the pitch.
Middlesbrough Predicted lineup – Steffen, Smith, Lenihan, Giles, Fry, Hackney, Howson, Jones, McGree, Akpom, Forss
Bristol City arrive here with just the two injuries to concern themselves with; Kal Naismith and Tomas Kalas are missing whilst George Tanner is suspended after that horror tackle that went viral in the week. Those three aside a full strength XI will be coming to the Riverside.
Bristol City Predicted lineup – O'Leary, Klose, Vyner, Pring, Sykes, James, Dasilva, Scott, Weimann, Wells, Conway
