Saturday 11th February 2023, ko 3:00pm.
Match Facts:
Cardiff have won one of their last five league games against Middlesbrough (D2 L2), although it came earlier this season at the Riverside.
Middlesbrough are looking for consecutive away league wins over Cardiff for the first time since December 2011, having won 2-0 in October 2021.
Cardiff have netted just one goal in their last seven league games (D3 L4) and are winless in 11 league games (D5 L6).
Indeed, 80% of Cardiff's goals in all competitions in 2023 so far have come against Premier League side Leeds in the FA Cup (4/5).
Middlesbrough have won each of their last two league games without conceding, not since October 2021 under Neil Warnock have they done so in three consecutive games, with the third victory in that run coming against Cardiff (2-0 in October 2021).
Since Michael Carrick's first league game in charge in October, only Burnley (33) and Sheffield United (32) have won more Championship points than Middlesbrough (31).
