Prediction: 2-0
Barnsley
Middlesbrough play host to Barnsley at their Riverside Stadium on day 13 of the new Championship campaign. The Boro aim to build on a 2-0 win over Peterborough United, with the team eyeing their third consecutive triumph at home ground. Teenage attacker Joshua Coburn is pushing for a start after finding the net in Saturday’s triumph, while the likes of Ameobi, Bola, Browne, Dijksteel, Fisher, Fry, and Hall missing out with injuries.
The Tykes, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest at the moment, with the team losing each of their previous four league fixtures. Barnsley failed to find the net in four of their last five league fixtures, and they are unlikely to spoil Middlesbrough’s party at Riverside Stadium. As for the visiting team, all Andersen, Benson, and Morris are out of contention through injuries, but there are no suspended players for the midweek clash.

Barnsley are an English club nicknamed the Tykes. The club was founded in 1887 and it has to be noted that they spend more seasons in the Championship than any other club in the history. The Tykes played in the Sheffield and District League from 1890, but in 1895 they were part of the Midland League. Barnsley play their home games at Oakwell, the stadium that was built in 1887.
The capacity of the stadium is 23,009 and it was opened back in 1888, just one year after the club’s foundation. The Tykes made it to the FA Cup final in 1910, but Newcastle United proved to be a big catch for the Oakwell outfit in the title game.
Nonetheless, Barnsley won the FA cup trophy in 1912 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Barnsley defeated West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged tie (0-0, 1-0) to clinch the prestigious trophy for the first and only time in their history.
