It was their 13th second tier victory of the season.

Meanwhile, the Bristol managed to secure a 2-1 victory when the Boro visited Ashton Gate last season, while this time around, the reverse fixture in November last year at the Riverside Stadium ended in a 1-1 draw after Middlesbrough forward Chuba Akpom canceled out Andreas Weimann’s early opener.
Michael Carrick’s side, on the other hand, are heading into the match on the back of a two consecutive defeats to relegation-battlers Huddersfield Town and league-leaders Burnley in the space of just six days.
