Fulham prepare to entertain Middlesbrough at Loftus Road (temporary) on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Cottagers have the slight edge, having won 11 of the 22 games compared to Middlesbrough's 8 wins.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Loftus Road (temporary) was less than a year ago, in January 2003, the Cottagers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.
