Middlesbrough will look to get their playoff bid back on track when they travel to Ashton Gate for Friday's Championship meeting with Bristol City.
Boro are currently in 11th place and four points adrift of the top six, while the Robins are two points better off in eighth position.
We say: Bristol City 2-1 Middlesbrough
Bristol City have collected six wins from their last eight home league matches, and with that in mind, we think the Robins will make full use of home advantage to condemn Middlesbrough to a fifth consecutive defeat to pile more pressure on Carrick.

Burnley will welcome Sheffield Wednesday to Turf Moor on Friday for an important game at the top end of the Championship table.
The hosts have fallen five points behind the automatic promotion spots despite their long unbeaten streak, while a defeat at the weekend saw their visitors drop to three points outside of the playoff places.
We say: Burnley 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Given their impressive defensive record, Burnley's games are often decided by whether they can find a decisive goal, and we back the Clarets to do so at Turf Moor while keeping a 12th straight clean sheet and a 25th of the Championship season in their 34th game.
