Our prediction for this Championship match:
Middlesbrough play host to Stoke City at their Riverside Stadium on Matchday 36. The Boro aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but the match against Stoke will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Anyhow, we are positive that the hosts will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Both Browne and Fletcher remain in the home team’s recovery room.
The Potters, on the other hand, did well to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Swansea, with the team beating Wycombe at home ground. Stoke City aim to stay in the playoffs race as well, and seeing that they are likely to go for a win in the Riverside Stadium showdown, both teams to score betting option should be considered. It has to be noted that the Potters managed to find the net in each of their previous three league fixtures. All Campbell, Clucas, Collins, Doughty, Fox, and McClean have been struggling with injuries of late.
