Prediction: 0-1
Middlesbrough
Swansea and Middlesbrough go head to head at Swansea.com Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship game. The Swans do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league fixtures, but their Championship status is not in danger yet. Experienced midfielder Joe Allen limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Luton Town, with Morgan Whittaker likely to replace him in the starting XI. Goalkeeper Steven Benda is yet another absentee in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Boro aim to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive. Middlesbrough proved their worth in a 5-0 crushing of Reading, and seeing that they want this win more than Swansea, we predict that Michael Carrick’s men are going to pick up all three point from Saturday’s clash. Defensive duo Patrick Mcnair – Matt Clarke should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Joe Allen):
Joe Allen is another high-quality footballer from the new generation of Wales internationals, who was part of the team that took Swansea from League One to the Premier League, and he had no problems adapting to arguably the strongest league championship in Europe.
Allen operated as a deep-lying playmaker as the Swans impressed upon reaching the elite division, with his excellent passing skills persuading Liverpool to splash £15 million on his services. The central midfielder didn’t exactly manage to develop into an indispensable member of the side at Anfield, but he is considered an important squad player and has always performed well when called upon.
Meanwhile, he has been one of the pillars of the most successful team in the Wales history together with Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams and Aaron Ramsey, while even representing Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Allen started five games for the Dragons as they secured the first ever appearance at the European Championship finals.
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.
