Prediction: 1-0
Birmingham City
Middlesbrough will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Birmingham City at their Riverside Stadium. The Boro have been playing some low-scoring games of late, with under 2.5 goals being netted in each of their last six league fixtures. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Slovenia attacker Andraz Sporar, who has been scoring goals for fun of late, while all Marc Bola, Grant Hall, Dael Fry, Anfernee Dijksteel, and Marcus Browne are out of contention with injuries.
The Blues, on the other hand, did well to beat Swansea at home in their last league match. Birmingham City, though, have been anything but impressive on the road of late, and that is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Forward Adan George should be the only absentee in the away team.
