Match preview
A Middlesbrough outfit surging up the standings in the Championship will be hopeful of keeping alive a stellar recent stretch of form when they make the trip to St. Andrew’s on Monday, January 2nd.
Recent weeks, of course, have seen Boro completely turn their campaign around.
Under the watch of former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick, they have racked up six wins from eight, dating back to the beginning of November.
The latest came late last week, and in altogether impressive fashion.
The Yorkshire-based club, after finding themselves in the thick of the relegation dogfight earlier in the season, in turn, have climbed to the heights of 8th, just two points off the promotion playoff places.

Safe to say, then, that upcoming opponents Birmingham City will have their work cut out for them on Monday night.
This comes with the Blues having endured an altogether more trying time of things of late.
Amid a run of just one win from six, John Eustace’s troops have fallen to defeat in each of their last two, failing to find the net even once along the way.
The most recent, meanwhile, proved of particular concern.
This came as a home meeting with relegation-battling Hull City culminated in the Tigers departing England’s west Midlands with all three points, courtesy of Oscar Estupinan’s late winner.
Birmingham, as a result, have slipped to 16th in the Championship table, just six points clear of the bottom three.
And we at 101 do not envision the Blues’ woes being at all eased come the full-time whistle on Monday evening, backing visitors Middlesbrough to continue their remarkable ascent courtesy of an eventual victory at St. Andrew’s.
