Charlton Athletic preview: Consecutive losses

Charlton come into the midweek game having suffered four consecutive defeats, and boss Nathan Jones only oversaw one win in his prior three matches.

Considering there are injury doubts regarding forward Charlie Kelman, there may be a spot in the frontline for striker Isaac Olaofe.

Predicted lineup: Kaminski (GK), Ramsay, Jones, Gillesphey, Bree, Coventry, Carey, Bell, Knibbs, Campbell & Olaofe

Last five results:

• Coventry City 3-1 Charlton Athletic
• Stoke City 3-0 Charlton Athletic
• Charlton Athletic 1-5 Southampton
• Wrexham 1-0 Charlton Athletic
• Charlton Athletic 1-0 West Bromwich Albion

Middlesbrough preview: Difficult to beat

Middlesbrough will be hoping for a third consecutive victory on Tuesday, and avoiding defeat would mean they have only been beaten in two of their last 10 fixtures.

Given that forwards David Strelec and Tommy Conway both managed to pick up goal contributions last time out against Hull City, they are set to be trusted once again.

Predicted lineup: Brynn (GK), Brittain, Jones, Targett, Bangura, Whittaker, Hackney, Gilbert, McGree, Strelec & Conway

Last five results:

• Hull City 1-4 Middlesbrough
• Middlesbrough 2-1 Derby County
• Middlesbrough 2-4 Coventry City
• Oxford United 1-1 Middlesbrough
• Middlesbrough 2-1 Birmingham City

Player to watch: Hayden Hackney

Boro's Hayden Hackney is arguably the team's best passer, and his creative abilities have been key for the team's promotion charge this campaign.

The midfielder has also been involved in goals recently, with the Englishman providing two assists and scoring twice in his past eight games for the club.
