Prediction: 1-1
Birmingham City
Middlesbrough will be aiming to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Fulham when they host Birmingham City at their Riverside Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Cottagers put an end to the Boro’s five-game unbeaten run in the Championship, but their display in the Craven Cottage showdown was anything but poor. Middlesbrough aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but the game against Birmingham City will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The Blues played out a 1-1 draw with Cardiff City at the weekend, with the team dropping a one-goal advantage in the second half. Anyhow, Middlesbrough and Birmingham City seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. When the two teams met at St. Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium earlier this term Birmingham City defeated Middlesbrough 2-1.

Highlighted Player (Britt Assombalonga):
Over the years Britt Assombalonga has established himself as one of the best attackers in the Championship. If it wasn’t for injuries, Assombalonga would be producing much better showings in the English second tier, but he still makes life difficult for the opposition defenders at this level.
The DR Congo international, who was born in Kinshasa on December 6, 1992, starting his youth career at Watford. The pacey forward made only 4 appearances for the Hornets in the league before spending a couple of seasons on loan at Wealdstone, Braintree Town and Southend United. In July, 2013 Assombalonga joined Peterborough United, breaking the club’s previous transfer record (£1.1 million).
After scoring 23 goals in 43 appearances for the Posh, Britt Assombalonga moved to Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2014, signing a five-year contract with the Reds for an undisclosed fee. Three years later Assombalonga moved to Middlesbrough and he has been playing for the Riverside Stadium ever since.

Birmingham City are a club located in the city of Birmingham, England. Birmingham City were founded in 1875 as Small Heath Alliance, but the club’s named was changed to Small Heath in 1888. 17 years later they became Birmingham and in 1943 they finally changed their name to Birmingham City.
The Blues welcome their rivals at St. Andrew’s, the stadium that was opened in 1906. Birmingham City compete in the Championship and their fiercest rivals are WBA and Aston Villa.
