Middlesbrough XI vs Birmingham – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Middlesbrough continue their promotion push with a trip to face Birmingham City this evening.

Kim Hellberg’s side sit second in the Championship, but have seen their lead over the play-off places slashed. Millwall have moved within one point of Middlesbrough, having played a fixture more, while fourth-placed Ipswich are just three points behind Boro with a game in hand.

Hellberg will know his side have little room for error in the run-in, ahead of facing a Birmingham side whose play-off hopes are also in jeopardy. The Blues have improved from a challenging start to the campaign and have lost just one of their last nine in the league.

Middlesbrough team news

Middlesbrough have no new injury concerns heading into tonight’s game. Darragh Lenihan remains a long-term absentee for the visitors, with Alfie Jones and Alex Bangurua joining the Irishman in the treatment room.

Hellberg may look to make changes after a disappointing draw with Leicester, with Dael Fry and Jeremy Sarmiento pushing for places in the starting side.

Middlesbrough predicted lineup

Predicted Middlesbrough XI vs Birmingham: Brynn; Brittain, Fry, Malanda, Targett; Morris; Whittaker, Hackney, Browne, McGree; Conway.

Birmingham vs Middlesbrough will kick off at 8pm GMT at St Andrews, on Monday 2nd March 2026.
