Prediction: 2-1
Middlesbrough
WBA and Middlesbrough face each other at the Hawthorns on day 4 of the new Championship campaign. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for the Baggies, with the team losing to Blackburn, beating Swansea, while sharing the spoils with Leeds United. West Brom are eager to return to winning ways in the English second tier and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football match. Both Adam Reach and Daryl Dike are out of contention with injuries.
The Boro, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town. Middlesbrough suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Coventry in their first away game of the season, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Both Tom Smith and Anfernee Dijksteel are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Paddy McNair):
Following in the footsteps of his compatriot Jonny Evans, Paddy McNair joined the Manchester United academy in 2011 and he was surprisingly handed first team debut by Louis van Gaal at the start of the 2014/2015 season.
Despite his fragile age, the talented central defender has been putting in some very mature performances ever since, and everything suggests he could go on to become an important player at Old Trafford in years to come. After representing a number of youth sides, McNair made his first appearance for the Northern Ireland senior national team in a March 2015 friendly vs Scotland, before making another three outings as his side secured their place at the Euro 2016 finals.
Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill surprisingly played McNair in holding midfield in the March 2016 friendly vs Wales. After the youngster impressed in the middle of the park, O’Neill went on to suggest that the Manchester United starlet may be used in midfield rather than defence in years to come in the national team.
