Middlesbrough come into the match on the back of a 2-1 victory at Norwich City in the Championship prior to the World Cup. It was a great result for Middlesbrough who found themselves 1-0 down after only 7 minutes.
Middlesbrough scored the equaliser in the 64th minute and netted the winning goal at the end of the match to take maximum points.
That result means Middlesbrough are undefeated in their last 4 Championship fixtures. In addition to the win at Norwich City, Middlesbrough have beat Hull City and Blackpool away plus picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at home with Bristol City.
In terms of home form, Middlesbrough have a good record of 10 undefeated games in their last 12 home encounters in the Championship. However, they have recorded only 1 win from their 6 most recent home league games and that came against Birmingham City on the 5th of October.
Trends show Middlesbrough have drawn 3 of their last 4 home Championship matches and seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 home league games.
Luton Town make the trip to the Riverside Stadium having previously been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Rotherham United in the Championship.
It was the away team who opened the scoring in the first minute of the match and just as it seemed they were going to take all 3 points, Luton Town equalised at the end of the game.
That result means Luton Town have recorded only 1 win from their last 6 Championship fixtures. However, they have not been easy to beat and Luton Town have lost only 1 of their last 5 league matches and 2 of their last 13 games in the Championship.
Luton Town have been held to a draw in 3 of their last 5 Championship matches.
Trends show there have been under 2.5 goals have been scored in Luton Town's last 5 matches in the Championship and in 5 of their last 6 on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Middlesborough have no injuries or suspensions to worry about, meaning they should be at full strength.
Luton Town are not as lucky and they could have up to five players unavailable for this game. Dan Potts, Sonny Bradley, Henri Lansbury, Reece Burke, and James Shea are all on the treatment table.
This should be a competitive game and it is difficult to split the teams. While both teams could find the back of the net, we are not expecting to see a high number of goals, meaning this match could end in a 1-1 draw.
