Our under-21s will look to get back to winning ways on Friday, February 14 as we welcome Middlesbrough to North London for a Premier League 2 clash. Kick-off at Meadow Park is scheduled for 7pm (UK time).
Last time out, we fought well away to an in-form West Ham United side, but were beaten 1 - 0 in East London.
The Opposition
Middlesbrough have struggled for form this season, sitting 24th in the Premier League 2 table with three wins and nine defeats from their 12 league matches.
Boro have lost their last four games, and are yet to win in 2025.
Like many of our Premier League 2 rivals, Boro competed in the Premier League International Cup this season; the North-East side beat Borussia Monchengladbach U21s in December, but lost their other three games.
Despite Middlesbrough’s struggles this season, forward Hazeem Bakre has shone, scoring six goals in nine appearances for Boro’s under-21s.
