Our prediction for this EFL Cup match:
Middlesbrough
Match Time & Date:

02:45 PM
Prediction: 1-0
Burton Albion
Riverside Stadium will host Tuesday’s football match between Middlesbrough and Burton Albion, who face each other in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Middlesbrough have been struggling in the Championship of late and, no doubt, a win over Burton will help them regain a much-needed confidence. The Boro did well to beat Premier League side Crystal Palace in the last 16 of the League Cup and they are considered favourites to win Tuesday’s clash. The Brewers continue to struggle in the League One and seeing that their main goal is to avoid relegation to League Two, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. In their last meeting at Riverside Stadium Middlesbrough recorded a 2-0 win over Burton Albion and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself when the two teams face each other in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Highlighted Player (Danny Batth):
At the age of 10 Danny Batth joined Wolverhampton football academy. He was soon named the captain of the Wolves youth team and nobody was surprised when he made his debut for the senior team. The defender, who was born on 21 September, 1990 scored nine goals in 140 league appearances for Wolverhampton, but it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Colchester United, Sheffield United and their bitter rivals Sheffield Wednesday on loan as well.
Danny Batth won the Football League One with Wolverhampton in the 2013/2014 season and, speaking of his individual awards, he was named Wolves Young Professional of the Year in the 2009/2010 campaign. Batth book his place in the 2013/2014 PFA League One Team of the Year as well. The 191-cm-tall centre back scored his first professional goal on 20 February in Colchester United’s 1-0 victory over Oldham Athletic.
Daniel Batth was born in Brierley Hill, West Midlands and he is the only footballer to play in all 46 matches for Wolves in the 2013/2014 season.
Highlighted Team (Burton Albion):
Burton Albion are one of the four clubs that secure promotion to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. The Brewers welcome their rivals at Pirelli Stadium, the venue that was opened in 2005. The capacity of the stadium is 6,912, while the seating capacity of the venue is 2,034.
Burton Albion won the FA Trophy in 1987, with the team winning Football League Two in 2015. During the club’s non-League period, the Brewers’ local rivals were Nuneaton Borough, Tamworth, Stafford Rangers and Gresley Rovers, but while they were playing in the Football League the club’s rivals were Crewe, Port Vale, Notts County and Chesterfield.
Derby County are considered Burton Albion’s rivals as well, but the rivalry with the Rams is rather friendly. The colour of Burton Albion’s home kit is black and yellow, while they wear white and grey jerseys on the travels.
