Prediction: 1-0
Stoke City
Middlesbrough and Stoke City square off against each other at Riverside Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Saturday’s program. The Boro look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive win in the Championship and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Stoke. Lewis O’Brien has yet to overcome an ankle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Potters, on the other hand, did well to shock promotion hopefuls Leeds United at their Bet365 Stadium, but given their difficulties at the back, we predict that Middlesbrough are going to emerge triumphant in the round 14 clash. As for the away team, all Ben Wilmot, Tyrese Campbell, Lewis Baker and Emre Tezgel should miss out through injuries. You should know that Middlesbrough are undefeated in the previous five meetings with Stoke in the Championship.
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.
