Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sunday’s football game between Middlesbrough and Burnley will bring down the curtain on day 24 of the new Championship campaign. The Boro dropped a three-goal advantage in a 3-3 draw with Sheffield Wednesday and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible. Defender Rav van den Berg misses out through suspension, while both Solomon Brynn (goalkeeper) and Tommy Conway (forward) are major doubts after limping off with injuries in the Boxing Day clash.
The Clarets, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Sheffield United and given the number of absentees in the home team, away win should be considered. Scott Parker has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to North Yorkshire. You should bear in mind that Burnley are undefeated in the previous seven meetings with Middlesbrough in all competitions.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough is a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
