Middlesbrough will be aiming to retain top position in the Championship standings when they take on Stoke City on Matchday 8. The Boro are leading the chase for automatic promotion, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to turn their dream into reality. Mamadou Kaly Sene definitely deserves a spot in the starting XI after getting his name on the secoresheet in the previous two league games, while trio Fry – Lenihan – McGree remains in the recovery room.
The Potters, on the other hand, have been involved in some low-scoring games of late. The visitors will continue relying on their solid defence in Tuesday’s clash, but preventing the promotion hopefuls from finding the net at Riverside Stadium is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that one goal is going to separate the two teams in the midweek clash. Both Sam Gallagher and Lewis Baker are rated doubtful for the away team.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 30 September 2025 at 19:45.
