Middlesbrough are winless in 14 league games against Leicester City (D8 L6) since a 1-0 home win in March 2002.
This is the first league meeting between Middlesbrough and Leicester since January 2017 in the Premier League, a game that ended goalless.
Middlesbrough lost 2-0 to Stoke in their last league game at the Riverside, having won their last three on home soil beforehand. They haven’t lost consecutively at home since April 2022, a run of three.

No side from the second, third or fourth tier of English football have ever started a season with eight away wins (Reading in 1985-86 won first seven).
