Our prediction for this Championship match:
Riverside Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Middlesbrough and Swansea, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Championship table. The Boro desperately needed a win against Huddersfield Town, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their five-game winless run. A man to watch in the home team will be Duncan Watmore, who scored a brace in the 2-1 win over Huddersfield.
The Swans, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Reading. The Welsh outfit have been having their ups and downs of late, and given Middlesbrough’s display in the triumph over Huddersifield, home win should definitely be considered. In their last meeting in the English second tier Swansea defeated Middlesbrough 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Russell Martin should have a full squad to choose from.
