Our prediction for this Championship match:
There will be fireworks when Middlesbrough and Aston Villa face each other at Riverside Stadium on day 20 of the new Championship campaign. Middlesbrough have been producing fine displays under Tony Pulis this term and they are only one point behind top two in the Championship standings ahead of Saturday’s derby against Aston Villa. The Boro did well to defeat Wigan in their last home game in the league, but beating the Villans, who have been scoring goals for fun of late, is easier said than done. Abraham, who scored four goals in a thrilling 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening, will be the man to watch in the away team. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards and we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils at Riverside Stadium on Saturday evening.

Highlighted Team (Aston Villa):

Aston Villa is one of the three clubs that dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign. The Villans host their rivals at Villa Park, the stadium that was opened in 1897 and its’ capacity is 42,682. However, it has to be noted that the highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 76,588 when Aston Villa faced Derby County in the FA Cup back in 1946.
Aston Villa’s fiercest rivals are Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Aston Villa and Wolves and Coventry City is big as well. Aston Villa have won seven First Division (Premier League) trophies, with the team clinching seven FA Cup trophies as well.
The team’s biggest success, though, came in 1982 when they won the European Cup. The Villans defeated Bayern Munich (1-0) in the title game and Peter Withe was named the man of the match.
