2 good teams, should be entertaining. with a city win

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Middlesbrough travel in search of a third straight league win at the Cardiff City Stadium. They put three goals past the Welsh club in each of the two previous victories there.

• There has not been a draw in the last 16 league matches between these clubs, and the most recent on Cardiff turf was 1-1 in November 1963.

• This is their first meeting since the Bluebirds' 2-0 triumph in the Championship at the Riverside in April. Cardiff need one goal to total 50 in home league games against the Teesside club.

c,mon city

Cardiff City

• Cardiff, the only league club with a 100% home record in all four divisions, are vying for a club record equalling ninth straight home league win.

• The Championship's top scorers (33 in 16), also hold the tightest home defence in the division (five conceded in eight), and have not lost in 14 second tier games at the Cardiff City Stadium (W9, D5) since Hull's triumphant visit on 13 March.

• If selected, Craig Noone will be playing on his 25th birthday.

Middlesbrough

• Middlesbrough are one point above third placed Cardiff and one point below leaders Crystal Palace but top of the Championship's "form" table (16 points out of 18), and are unbeaten in eight (W6, D2) since losing to Leicester on 29 September.

• Tony Mowbray's side have scored two goals or more in nine of their Championship victories; a record that only Cardiff can match.

• Stuart Parnaby could make a 150th career league appearance, and Jonathan Woodgate is in line to make his 250th English league start.

2-1 to us. Emnes for them.

Whitts pen and Hudson header for us.

Middlesbrough standard

Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray has said October's Championship Manager of the Month award needs to set the standard for the rest of the campaign.

Boro kicked off their promotion push after recording five wins and one draw from six matches throughout the month to climb to second in the table.

"Let's hope there are a few more on the way as that would suggest we've won lots of games," Mowbray told BBC Tees.

"We've got to win a lot more games to maintain our position."
Boro's six of the best

3 Oct 2012 - Middlesbrough 2-2 Derby
6 Oct 2012 - Watford 1-2 Middlesbrough
20 Oct 2012 - Brighton 0-1 Middlesbrough
23 Oct 2012 - Middlesbrough 2-0 Hull
27 Oct 2012 - Middlesbrough 2-1 Bolton
30 Oct 2012 - Sunderland 0-1 Middlesbrough

Mowbray added: "There's not that many points between us and 16th, 17th in the table - they're only a handful of wins from being in the top six.

"We have to strive for the consistency that we've been showing during October and try to keep it going."

After the Teessiders were pipped to a play-off place to Cardiff on the final day of the 2011-12 Championship season, the pressure has been on Boro to go one better in 2012-13.

The catalyst this term has been a nine-match unbeaten run, stretching back to the end of September, that has continued into November with seven wins.

"It's a reflection of how well the club is going at the moment, how well the players are gelling and how much they've found a spirit to help them win football matches," Mowbray added.

"It's about how hard the coaching staff are working, how hard everyone behind the scenes is working to make it a happy camp.

"When you've got a happy camp, and everybody is enjoying coming into work and working hard for each other you can win football matches which we've managed to do in October."

Cardiff City

• If selected, Craig Noone will be playing on his 25th birthday.

I knew he was special. Not a blood brother but a STAR brother.

Happy Birthday Craig.....you are destined to score (and win me a few quid in the process!)

I've lumped a big £5 on Nooney as 1st goal scorer - 10/1.

It's written in the stars.

I am, my mothers boyfriend (my halfsisters father) lifelong boro fan, has lived in cardiff 10 plus years. Traveled to most boro games half his life, time for the banter back. I still tell tell him to this day his favourite player is a jack bastered but what can you do -

I think we'll win 1-0.

Connolly is due a goal and knowing our luck we'll probably suffer a few more injuries and have a knobhead for a ref.
