Preview
Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday meet at Riverside Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 28‑12‑2015, in a match for the Championship, Middlesbrough won by (1‑0). The only goal of the match was scored by C. Stuani (1' ). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home draw against Leicester City by (0‑0). Middlesbrough has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 21 of the last 52 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Middlesbrough heads into this match after a 0-0 home draw, against Leicester. They play in a traditional 4-3-3 formation, with Traore, Negredo and Ramirez as their forwards. The brain of the team is Clayton, as he is the player responsible for creating their attacking plays. As they have issues, they usually play in their own half, trying to hide their defensive flaws. They should be without Viktor Fischer, who is injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Brad Guzan , George Friend, Calum Chambers, Bernardo Espinosa, Daniel Ayala, Marten de Roon, Adam Clayton, Grant Leadbitter, Cristhian Stuani, Álvaro Negredo, Adama Traoré.
Coach: K. Hellberg.

Analysis Sheff Wed

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers by (0‑0). In the last 10 away matches Sheffield Wednesday has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 15 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Sheffield heads into this match after a 0-0 home draw against Wolves. They play in a 4-4-2 formation, prioritising slow paced and organized plays, especially through the middle of the pitch. In this formation, they will have Forestieri and Fletcher as their forwards, with Lee, McManaman, Hutchinson and Bannan as their midfielders.

Confirmed Lineup: Joe Wildsmith, Liam Palmer, Daniel Pudil, Tom Lees, Glenn Loovens, Adam Reach, David Jones, Ross Wallace, Barry Bannan, Steven Fletcher, Fernando Forestieri.
Coach: D. Moore.
