Iheanacho is averaging 3.13 shots per 90 in the Championship since joining Middlesbrough, this rises to 3.95 per 90 when just looking at home matches, albeit this is a small sample size of only four matches at this point. He took five shots in Middlesbrough’s last home match against Oxford, and three against Blackburn on Friday night.

Leeds allow an average of eight when on the road, but Iheanacho has been taking a high percentage of Middlesbrough’s shots in recent matches, and Boro are one of the highest shot per 90 teams in the league at home, averaging over 13 per 90, so this should balance things out.

There is also potential for Iheanacho to be replaced by Morgan Whittaker, who is a high-volume shot taker, using bet365's 'Sub On Play On' feature.

Firpo has taken an average of 1.01 shots per 90 in Leeds’ last 30 Championship matches, this rises to 1.13 per 90 when only considering away matches, and 1.19 when only considering Leeds’ last 10 matches.

He has beaten this mark in seven out his last 10 starts in the Championship, having had a shot from the centre of the box against Luton, despite Leeds only managing eight efforts in total in the match. He has recently been a big aerial threat from open play, scoring against West Brom and Sheffield United

Firpo has been sharing some minutes with Sam Byram recently who also averages a decent 0.93 shots per 90 and had two shots when filling in for Firpo against Swansea at home last week.

Dan James has probably been Leeds’ best, most consistent attacking threat this season. He has taken an average of 3.67 shots per 90 in Leeds’ last 30 Championship matches, this remains above three when only considering away matches as well.

He has beaten the over 1.5 mark in 11 out of his last 12 starts in the Championship, having done so again against Luton at the weekend, taking a quarter of Leeds’ total shots in that match and scoring a great goal on his left foot.

Leeds have have conceded in each of their last three Championship matches, and in six of their last eight, this includes their last four away matches in a row.

Middlesbrough have allowed QPR and Oxford to score at the Riverside, despite ultimately winning the matches. They average just over a goal a game conceded at home, and Leeds are the highest volume chance creators in the league.

The recent history between these two suggests goals as well. This time last year, the clubs played out a thrilling 3-4. Since then, Boro won 3-0 in the League Cup at Elland Road, but Leeds triumphed 3-1 in the league.

Tommy Conway produced a superb touch and finish at Ewood Park on Friday, showing plenty of composure and expertise with his left-footed finish.

Indeed, the stats indicate that when Conway shoots in a match, he often hits the target. He is the only regular Middlesbrough player to average over one shot on target per 90 minutes, and he has managed that in four of his last five Championship matches.

He is a strong candidate to start, but when he has been replaced in matches recently, it has been for Marcus Forss, who is actually the only other Middlesbrough player in the squad with over one shot on target per 90.

Dijksteel has had three cautions in his last eight matches, and they have been fairly evenly spaced out so he may be due another one at this stage.

He is playing the full 90 minutes in every match at the moment and his direct opponent is likely to be Manor Solomon. The Israeli international was fouled four times in the match against Luton, so he is a tricky customer who could tempt Dijksteel into a rash challenge.

He averages 0.25 yellow cards per game in the Championship, the highest rate of any Middlesbrough player this season.

The form guide is certainly in favour of this outcome, despite it being the slight outsider in the market against a Leeds win.

Middlesbrough have won or drawn 15 out of their 20 home matches so far this season in the Championship. They are on a run of one defeat in seven in the league, and their game management against Blackburn was perfect, which will give the squad great confidence ahead of this match.

Leeds have recently looked nervy, with only one win in six, and four draws in that time. Leeds' matches are more in the balance at the moment than they have been for most of the season, and a potential score draw looks a distinct possibility here.
