Our prediction for this Championship match:
Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers take on each other at Riverside Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Boro have been having thier ups and downs of late, with the team beating Bristol City, losing to QPR, while sharing the spoils with Derby County. Even though all Ameobi, Browne, and Watmore are out of contention with injuries, we predict that Neil Warnock’s men are going to grab something from the match as they are tough to beat at home.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to WBA, and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the Riverside Stadium showdown. All Dack, Johnson, Nyambe, Rankin-Costello, and Wharton have been struggling with injuries of late. Under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous five meetings between the two sides.
