Aston Villa is going through a difficult time in the championship and currently has five straight games without winning. In the last game the team lost away against Brentford by 2-1. We emphasize that the away team registers three consecutive away matches without winning. If it wins Middlesbrough in this match, Aston Villa surpasses it in the league table. In this away game, coach Steve Bruce should maintain his usual tactical scheme, namely 4-2-3-1, with Hogan being the team's most offensive reference. On the other hand, Albert Adomah is the top scorer of Aston Villa until this moment with 11 goals. Aston Villa has presented enormous difficulties in finalizing and maintaining ball possession, something that has damaged the team in this competition. For this game the coach can not count on Lyden and Kodjia, both injured.
