We said: Leeds United 3-2 Middlesbrough

Leeds should come into the clash as slight favourites due to their exceptional home record and strong defensive performances in recent weeks. Middlesbrough have struggled to keep opponents at bay, but they have been phenomenal in attack, and while they might lose on Tuesday due to their leaky defence, they will no doubt create chances in front of goal.
