Sheffield Wednesday have won only five of their 21 home matches this season
Four of Middlesbrough’s last five defeats were by a 1-0 scoreline
Playoff hopefuls Middlesbrough needed a late penalty to edge past bottom club Plymouth 2-1 last time out. Michael Carrick’s men should be able to grind out a victory to nil at Sheffield Wednesday, who have lost their last three home games by a 1-0 scoreline and went down 2-0 at Stoke on Saturday.
