    Middlesbrough will seek to go top of the Championship, for a few hours at least, as they welcome Cardiff to the Riverside on Saturday (12:30 BST).

    Boro overcame Wolves at home last Saturday before a last-gasp 3-2 win at Stoke to sit second, two points behind Swansea, who face third-placed West Ham at 15:00 BST.

    The Bluebirds are 19th, two points above the drop zone, after winning two of their past three games, thumping Watford 5-1 at home on Tuesday night, but have lost their past four games on the road.

    • Middlesbrough have only lost one of their past 10 league games against Cardiff City (W6 D3), a 2-3 home defeat in September 2022.

    • Cardiff have lost four of their past five league meetings with Middlesbrough, although did draw 1-1 at the Riverside most recently in January 2025.

    • For the second season in succession, Middlesbrough find themselves on exactly 21 points after their opening 10 games of a campaign, matching their best start since 1995-96.

    • Cardiff have won two of their past three Championship matches (L1), as many victories as across their prior 24 combined in the second tier (D11 L11).

    • This season across all competitions, Middlesbrough's Will Lankshear has struck 10 goals, one of only two players to hit double figures for a side in England's top four tiers, alongside Manchester City's Erling Haaland (also 10).

  19. Middlesbrough getting better and better - Hellberg

    Hellberg: Boro 'impressive' against Stoke

    Middlesbrough are getting better and better, according to head coach Kim Hellberg.

    The Teessiders stretched their unbeaten run to eight games in the Championship with a 3-2 win at Stoke on Tuesday night to remain second in the table.

    "It felt like it could have been a smoother ride but again it's the mentality when it goes to 2-2 then going on to win it," Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees.

    "You could see in the game when they scored we go and push again and it was clear we were chasing to win the game. Without a doubt it was a fair result - we are starting to get better and better."

    Middlesbrough beat Wolves 1-0 on Saturday and Hellberg saluted his side's resilience for following-up that victory with Tuesday's win.

    "The performance as a whole was a top one, to go away against a team with five wins and a draw in their past six games is very impressive," he added.

    "You play a game on Saturday against Wolves which means so much to everyone, playing against a team that has come down from the Premier League.

    "Then you go to Stoke against a team who haven't lost in six and put up that sort of performance, that is brilliant from the boys."
