Prediction: 3-1
Middlesbrough
Blackburn Rovers play host to Middlesbrough at their Ewood Park in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Riversiders aim to make amends for the Boxing Day defeat to Sunderland, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Boro. Both Hirst and Travis are pushing for a start, while all Barnes, Batty, Brittain, Dolan, and Vale should miss out with injuries.
Meanwhile, the visitors proved their worth in a thrilling 4-1 win over Wigan, but beating Blackburn on the road is easier said than done. Seeing that Jon Dahl Tomasson’s troops have turned their Ewood Park into a real fortress, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. A man to watch in Michael Carrick’s team will be Chuba Akpom, who scored a hat-trick in the Boxing Day triumph, while both Clarke and Fisher remain in the recovery room. You should bear in mind that the Riversiders have already recorded eight wins at home ground this term.
Highlighted Player (Bradley Dack):
Born in Greenwich, England on December 31, 1993, Bradley Dack is a midfielder who plays for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Bradley Dack began his youth career at Charlton Athletic back in 2005 and five years later he moved to Corinthian. However, the English footballer started his senior career at Gillingham, making his league debut against Bradford City on August 18, 2012. 20 days later he scored his first senior goal as he found the net in Football League trophy clash against Crawley Town.
Before joining Blackburn Rovers on June 27, 2017 Bradley Dack played four games on loan for Braintree Town, scoring one goal in those league games. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is used as both right and left midfielder as well. Dack once described himself as “free role behind two strikers”.
The Blackburn Rovers midfielder often finds the net and it has to be noted that he scored 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Riversiders in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
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.
