Middlesbrough’s playoff chances have already ended, but they will pose a stiff test for Leeds, with the hosts unbeaten in their last nine league games, including three wins on home soil.
Leeds’ form is wobbling at the worst possible time for their promotion push, with just one win in five, and their chances of a top-two finish could take a blow here.
Prediction: Middlesbrough 1-1 Leeds
