Middlesbrough vs West Bromwich Preview
Riverside Stadium will be the centre of attention when Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion meet in an intriguing early-season Championship derby. Boro are among the main promotion favourites but need to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Blackburn. They made a winning start at home, though, beating Lincoln 2-1, and their last five matches at Riverside have produced 1.6 points per game. Middlesbrough have also registered a solid 1.88 xG per game across their last 10 matches. Tommy Conway remains in the treatment room.
West Brom, meanwhile, are looking to maintain their perfect start to the Championship campaign after back-to-back league victories. The Baggies were beaten 3-2 by Newcastle in the EFL Cup, but their overall form remains excellent, with seven wins from their last 10 matches. James Morrison's men have averaged 2.5 goals per game over that period and have scored in all six of their recent away matches. Isaac Price is a player to watch after producing a prolific run in front of goal. There are no fresh injury worries for the visitors.
BTTS landed in 70% of Middlesbrough's last 10 matches and 83% of West Brom's recent away games. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 1.5 goals and WBA or Draw (better form).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday, 29 August 2026 at 12:30.
