Middlesbrough v Leeds United result predicted by supercomputer
Leeds United are set to take on Middlesbrough in a vital away trip for their Premier League promotion hopes.
Daniel Farke’s side have endured a dismal run of form, which has seen them win just one of their last six matches.
Leeds were comfortable at the top of the Championship, but they are now in third place, out of the automatic promotion spots, and they face a battle to climb back up the table.
The Riverside Stadium awaits as they face an in-form Middlesbrough, who are now in the play-off spots under Michael Carrick.
Leeds backed to win at Middlesbrough
Despite Middlesbrough’s form, Leeds have now been backed to win away on Tuesday night, with Farke’s side the favourites against Boro despite their recent results.
Opta’s supercomputer have now given Leeds a 46 per cent chance of victory at Riverside, making an away win the most likely scenario.
| Team | Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | Goals | Conceded | Position |
| Leeds | 40 | 23 | 13 | 4 | 79 | 28 | 3rd |
Middlesbrough have been given a 29.3 per cent chance of victory, while a draw is seen as the least likely result, with a 24.6 per cent chance of happening.
Middlesbrough’s injury crisis may play a part in this prediction, as well as Leeds’ strong head-to-head record against them.
Leeds’ historical record against Middlesbrough
Leeds have remarkably won their last five Championship clashes with Boro in a row, dating all the way back to 2019.
In addition to their strong record against Boro at Elland Road, which saw them win 3-1 in December 2024 in the reverse fixture, Leeds typically play well at Riverside.
Their last trip to face Boro came in April 2024, and Leeds recorded a remarkable 4-3 victory, which saw the visitors go 3-2 up by half time, before a penalty from Crysencio Summerville secured all three points.
They will hope for a similar result on Tuesday, with their Championship promotion hopes now hanging on by a thread, and Leeds will be desperate to find their best form at this crucial time.
Should Leeds drop into the play-offs, there is a chance they will have to face Boro again this season, and a win at the very least in this first fixture should at least give them some confidence of a positive result later on, if it comes to it.
