Leeds United to suffer third straight loss
After ten games of the season, not many people would have predicted that Middlesbrough would be lying in 18th place in the table.
Gordon Strachan spent big this summer, bringing in pretty much half the Scottish Premier League as he attempted to get Boro back to the Premier League at their second attempt.
However, just three wins form their opening ten games has left Strachan fighting for his managerial life.
The same certainly can't be said of Simon Grayson as he celebrates his 100th game in charge of Leeds United. He got the former Champions League semi-finalists promoted last season and they got off to a flier this term, winning three of their opening five games.
The wheels have come off in recent weeks though, and United have lost their last two Championship games, including their dreadful 6-4 loss against Preston North End - a game in which they were 4-1 up.
They will face another tricky task against Boro this Saturday. Boro haven't lost at the Riverside since their opening day defeat against Ipswich Town and have won three and drawn one of their four clashes since then.
Leeds have only kept three clean sheets in their last 18 away games, and with Middlesbrough scoring in each of their previous 14 games at the Riverside, we fancy Boro to come out on top in this match at [2.3].
