    Middlesbrough will be looking to get their promotion push back on track following defeat last time out against Charlton when they welcome Bristol City to the Riverside on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

    That loss was Boro's first in five games and left them eight points adrift of leaders Coventry City.

    A 2-0 defeat at Leicester means Bristol City go into this game on the back of three in a row, with their play-off hopes taking a hit as a result. The Robins are now 12th and seven points off sixth-place.

    • Middlesbrough have lost their last five league games against Bristol City and are winless in eight (D2 L6) since a 2-1 victory in August 2021.

    • Bristol City have won on eight of their last 12 away league visits to Boro (D2 L2), having won just two of their first 30 there.

    • Middlesbrough have won their last six home league matches that kicked off at 12.30pm, scoring 17 goals and only conceding three.

    • Bristol City's Emil Riis has eight goals in nine Championship appearances against Middlesbrough – it's the most any player has scored against them in the division since the 2004-05 rebrand.

    • Bristol City manager Gerhard Struber has lost on his two previous league visits to Middlesbrough, 1-0 in 2019-20 and 2-1 in 2020-21 as Barnsley manager.

    Hellberg: 'Angry' with Boro's defeat to Charlton

    Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg was frustrated with his side's efforts in front of goal in the damaging 1-0 defeat to Charlton.

    Boro had 34 shots on goal, but Will Mannion in the Charlton goal was largely untroubled until he saved well from Hayden Hackney late on.

    Boro are now just one point ahead of Millwall in third place.

    Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees: "It has been a theme where we have had a lot of opportunities and not won games. We have not been good enough in terms of scoring goals and we have two points from three home games.

    "We scored seven goals in our last two games and could have scored seven today but we have to keep working and keep improving. It would be worse if we had only two chances all night.

    "We need to win as many games as possible. We will try and win them all."
