Prediction: 2-0
Luton
Riverside Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Middlesbrough and Luton Town. The Boro aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Queens Park Rangers and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Hayden Hackney is back from suspension, but Michael Carrick is unlikely to make changes to the team that crushing the Hoops in midweek.
The Hatters, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cardiff City, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. You should know that Luton Town have suffered a loss in each of their last three away games in the Championship. All Andersen, Lockyer, and Walters are out of contention, while Luton defender Reece Burke is a major doubt. Last time out Middlesbrough defeated Luton 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Paddy McNair):
Following in the footsteps of his compatriot Jonny Evans, Paddy McNair joined the Manchester United academy in 2011 and he was surprisingly handed first team debut by Louis van Gaal at the start of the 2014/2015 season.
Despite his fragile age, the talented central defender has been putting in some very mature performances ever since, and everything suggests he could go on to become an important player at Old Trafford in years to come. After representing a number of youth sides, McNair made his first appearance for the Northern Ireland senior national team in a March 2015 friendly vs Scotland, before making another three outings as his side secured their place at the Euro 2016 finals.
Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill surprisingly played McNair in holding midfield in the March 2016 friendly vs Wales. After the youngster impressed in the middle of the park, O’Neill went on to suggest that the Manchester United starlet may be used in midfield rather than defence in years to come in the national team.
Highlighted Team (Luton ):
Founded back on April 11, 1885, Luton Town are an English club that compete in the Championship. The Hatters welcome their rivals at Kenilworth Road, the stadium which was opened in 1905. The capacity of the stadium is 10,356, with Luton Borough Council owning the venue.
Luton Town wear orange shirts with a little white and dark blue and dark blue shorts when playing at home, whilst their away colours are white and dark blue. Andy Rennie is the club’s all-time top scorer, netting 162 goals in all competitions for the Hatters. The likes of Joe Payne, Hugh Billington, Bernard Streten, Dyd Owen, Bob Morton, Ron Baynham, Gordon Turner and Mal Donaghy are one of the club’s most notable players as well.
Luton Town finished the 2018/2019 League One campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will compete in the Championship in the 2019/2020 season.
