Middlesbrough’s chances of clinching a play-off spot seem to be decreasing after their 1-1 draw with Swansea City at the weekend, leaving them without a win in their last five matches.
However, Chris Wilder’s side host Cardiff City this evening and will be confident of returning to winning ways, with the Welsh side sat in 19th place.
If they are able to claim all three points in today’s game in hand then that would leave them two points off sixth, with Stoke City and Preston North End left to play.
