Prediction: 2-0
Derby
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Stoke City, Middlesbrough will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Derby County on Saturday. The Boro have regained a much-needed confidence, with the team putting an end to their five-game losing run, but they should not stop now. As Middlesbrough are only four points behind the playoffs places, we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Rams. Both Rav van den Berg and George Edmundson are major doubts after limping off with injuries in the midweek win.
Derby County, on the other hand, are having yet another season to forget, with the team sitting in the relegation zone. Given their under-par performances in back-to-back defeats to QPR (0-4) and Millwall (0-1), there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough is a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
