Middlesbrough and Swansea have something in common and that is nothing more and nothing less than a very high amount of goals against, both teams will have to be careful with the opponent's attacks, as the game lends itself to have many chances. 

Middlesbrough has managed to win the last three matches against Swansea, without a doubt Boro has taken the measure of its rival and that is why it is the favorite to win this matchday. 

Swansea City remains in fifteenth position, their relegation is still at stake although the gap is still by several points, but this problem stems from the fact that they have not been able to be a forceful team, as they have only won two of their last ten away games.

Middlesbrough is a great team and not for nothing last season were in the fight for promotion via Playoff, now this season the team is having a great closing and has managed to remain undefeated in the last six games, where they added four wins, no doubt Swansea can be game seven without defeat and would equal its highest number of games without losing in the season. 

This was the arrival of the visiting team:

With five games left to play, Rotherham are the first team to be relegated, with just four wins on the season, it was difficult to stay in the Championship, but more importantly the other two relegation places can still change and Swansea could also become involved if they start a negative run of not picking up three points. 

This is how the home team arrived for the clash against Swansea:

Middlesbrough is one of nine teams with a positive goal difference, but this difference is just three goals, compared to leaders Ipswich, it is twenty-nine goals difference, but this is put on the back burner when there is still something at stake on matchday forty-one.

The top of the table is having important changes, Leicester, who for a long time had a considerable advantage, suddenly lost that advantage and now they are in a fight that they can still control, but makes it clear that whoever is confident can have a bad time, an important warning for the two teams that will face each other. 

Thank you for following the Middlesbrough vs Swansea game, today we are expecting a great duel with two teams that are looking for different things, one still thinking about promotion, while the other does not want to put itself at risk of relegation.

Jamal Lowe, forward. One of Swansea's best players this season, with twenty-nine years old, he is being key in the team, with twenty-six games played as a starter, he is the scorer of the team with eight goals, for this closing of the season, it will be crucial that he manages to appear on the scoreboard with more consistency, as his team needs to get the three points.

Emmanuel Lath, striker. In such a close season, teams usually have a player who rescues the game, for Middlesbrough Lath has been a key player for the team's performance, although it has not been the best season compared to the previous one where they were in fourth place, this player can lead the team to look for a better place in the table and that is why they need to score goals in their next duels.

Swansea is playing its sixth season in the Championship after its relegation in the 2017/18 season, the team has had good moments fighting for promotion and at other times settling for mid-table, for the current season the team no longer has chances to reach a possible Playoff for promotion, however, the distances with the teams below have reduced and a negative streak at this time would lead the team to relegation, the team has 47 points and is located in the fifteenth position, apparently the seven points that it takes from the last place in relegation seem not to be a problem, but certainly this season is being surprising and especially the distances have been greatly shortened between the teams, Swansea must seek victory in the next few days to get out of doubts. 

Middlesbrough is being an outstanding team in the EFL Championship, just see that last season they could finish in fourth place and that allowed them to play the Playoff for promotion to the Premier League, in the end that dream was not achieved and now for this season, the team has few options to seek promotion, the fight for those places has been closing in recent days and now Middlesbrough hopes for a miracle to sneak in, This team after forty rounds has scored fifty-eight points, the outlook does not look encouraging and without a doubt they will have to do their best, but a possible sixth position looks complicated, since it does not depend entirely on them, the only thing left for this team to do is to close the tournament in the best way, adding victories and hoping for a miracle. 

The Riverside Stadium has been the home of Middlesbrough since the 1995-96 season in the Premier League, its construction had a cost of around 16 million euros, currently has a capacity to accommodate 35 thousand spectators and is expected to be expanded, being a four-star stadium, it can host a UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League final

This time we will see a team trying to get to sixth place.
