Projected final score: 0-1<\/h3>

Middlesbrough arrive in superior form with back-to-back wins and sit 6 places<\/strong> above a heavily depleted Blackburn side. With over eight confirmed absentees stretching Mowbray's squad to the limit, Boro's quality in depth should be enough to edge this, and 2.15<\/a> reflects bookmaker confidence behind Michael Carrick's side.<\/p>

The H2H record is a powerful anchor here: the last two Championship meetings between these clubs both finished 0-0, and only 21%<\/strong> of their 29 historical meetings produced over 2.5 goals. A narrow, grinding away win is the most logical outcome, making N\/A a natural fit for a fixture that historically suppresses scoring.<\/p>

Match Analysis<\/h2>

Middlesbrough arrive at Ewood Park as clear favourites at 2.15<\/a>, sitting 6th in the Championship table and carrying back-to-back wins including a 2-1 victory over Lincoln. Kim Hellberg's 3-4-3 system brings pace and vertical aggression to every away fixture.<\/p>
