Our prediction for this Championship match:
Middlesbrough will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to Portsmouth when they take on WBA in the Championship round 28. The Boro have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, but Tuesday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for Michail Carrick’s troops. Goalkeeper Solomon Brynn remains in the recovery room, alongside the likes of Alex Bangura, Darragh Lenihan, and Tommy Smith.
The Baggies, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches. West Brom and Middlesbrough are level on points in the Championship standings and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two teams. Daryl Dike should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough is a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
