Prediction: 3-1
Plymouth
Middlesbrough will try to make amends for back-to-back losses to Leeds United and Millwall when they welcome Plymouth to their Riverside Stadium on Great Friday. The Boro have been facing a tough fixture list in April, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Pilgrims in front of home fans. Middlesbrough’s injury list remains pretty long, but Michael Carrick can count on key players for Saturday’s encounter.
Plymouth, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels. With Plymouth already suffering 14 defeats on the road this season, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Muhamed Tijani is pushing for a recall to the Plymouth’s starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against Sheffield United. Both Brendan Galloway and Maksym Talovierov are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
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.
