West Bromwich
Middlesbrough
On Tuesday there will be a lot of European cups, although it will be interesting and in the Championship, where a lot of games are scheduled. Dailysports experts have prepared their prediction for the match West Bromwich - Middlesbrough.
West Bromwich
“Thrushes” were able to give a strong start, thanks to which they seized the lead in the Championship. It is impossible to stop, as the competitors are very close.
In the last round West Bromwich suffered their first defeat, losing away to Sheffield Wednesday with a score of 2:3. Since there was a margin of safety, managed to keep the first line, although the loss of points offensive. The team is sure to set a goal to get into the APL, at least for this there are prerequisites. Injuries will not allow two players to take the field.
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough does not show much stability this season, the team has 11 points in 7 meetings, which allows them to occupy the eighth line in the Championship. The gap from the top-6 is only two points, so there is still a lot of struggle ahead.
In the last round, the team beat Stoke City on its field with a score of 2:0, the result deserved “boro” struck on the opponent's goal 29 strikes, and the guests responded with only 8 shots. The main goal of the club should be promotion, although now acutely lacks stability. The task to get into the top six looks real.
