Middlesbrough vs Preston North End Prediction and Betting Tips | November 28th 2023 

Middlesbrough will host Preston North End at Riverside on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.

After a strong run of results in October, the home side have struggled for results this month and are once again falling behind in the race for the playoffs. They were beaten 3-2 by Bristol City last time out in a thrilling game and will look to return to winning ways.

Middlesbrough sit mid-table in 12th place with 24 points from 17 games. They are four points behind their midweek opponents and will look to reduce that gap with a win on Tuesday.

Preston North End kicked off their season in brilliant fashion but have lost their way in recent weeks and could soon find themselves outside the playoff spots. They were beaten 2-1 by Cardiff City as they conceded two goals in stoppage time to endure a crushing defeat.
