Prediction: 1-0
Oxford United
Following a goalless draw with Luton Town, Middlesbrough will look to move closer to stay in the playoffs race when they face Oxford United on Saturday afternoon. The Boro were having their ups and downs before the international break, with the team losing to Swansea, beating QPR, while playing out the aforementioned draw with Luton. Middlesbrough’s injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of McGree, van den Berg, Lehinan, Edmundson, Doak, Dieng, Brynn, Bangura, and Ayling.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Watford. Oxford United are on an eight-game winless run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Middlesbrough this time out. The likes of Bradshaw, Leigh, Moore, and Bennett are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting 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.
