New Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg claimed a win to kick-off his time at the Riverside but can he follow it up on the road against a tough Hull City side on Friday night (20:00 GMT).
Boro took a 2-1 victory over Derby to put themselves back in the automatic promotion spots but with Millwall, Stoke and Preston North End all looming, they will need a win to ensure they stay there.
Victory may not come easy though, as opponents Hull seek a place in the top six and their first back-to-back wins since October.
Hull have won just one of their last six league games against Middlesbrough (D1 L4), a 2-1 away win in December 2023.
Following a 1-0 win in this exact fixture last season, Middlesbrough are looking to win consecutive away league games against Hull for the first time.
Hull City have won six of their last 10 league games (D1 L3), with only league leaders Coventry City winning more since the start of October (10).
Having won their first two Championship away games this season, Middlesbrough have since won just one of their last seven on the road (D4 L2).
Joe Gelhardt has been involved in nine goals in his last nine Championship appearances (7 goals, 2 assists), netting the winning goal in all five of Hull City’s victories in that run.
