Prediction: 2-2
Wycombe
Middlesbrough play host to Wycombe at their Riverside Stadium on the last day of the 2020/21 season. The Boro missed out on a place in the Championship playoffs, but their pride will be at stake in Saturday’s football match. All Browne, Dijksteel, Fry, Mendez-Laing, Morsy, and Tavernier have been struggling with injuries of late, and they are unlikely to be risked against Wycombe.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, need a miracle to survive in the Championship as they are stuck at the bottom of the standings with the worst goal difference. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards at Riverside Stadium as both teams will be with guards down. Both Adeniran and Grimmer suffered injuries in the 1-0 win over Bournemouth, and the duo is unlikely to feature against Middlesbrough. In the first half of the season the Boro defeated the Chairboys 3-1.

Wycombe Wanderers host their rivals at Adams Park, a small stadium in Sands Industrial Estate which can hold up to 10,137 people. Milton Keynes Dons are seen as the club’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Buckinghamshire derby. Wycombe Wanderers made it to the FA Cup semis in the 2000/2001, with the team repeating the success in the League Cup six seasons later.
