by Sridhar in Championship Predictions
Middlesbrough will target a win over Swansea in a matchday 36 meeting as they look to maintain their playoff push in the Championship. This match on Saturday at the Swansea.com Stadium between the 16th-placed Swans and the ninth-placed Boro comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
A tally of 50 points puts Middlesbrough only two behind the top six teams, while Swansea’s 41 points gives them a buffer of ten points over the relegation zone.
Swansea played out a dull 0-0 draw away at Preston on Tuesday to make it four points from their last two matches. That is impressive tidings, but a run of seven defeats over the last ten competitive matches put them in a tight spot. Adding more anxiety is their recent form at this venue, as Swansea lost three of their four recent home games.
Middlesbrough edged Derby 1-0 last weekend to make it consecutive wins. Those results eased the pressure a bit after a run of five defeats on the bounce threatened to derail their playoff ambitions. The visitors are still chasers, but a win here coupled with some favourable results elsewhere could see them jump back into the top six. Away form remains a challenge, though, as Middlesbrough lost four of their last five trips.

Our Swansea vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Swansea won the reverse fixture 1-0, which was their fifth win in a row over Middlesbrough. While those stats remain impressive, recent form pulls them down. The Swans have been struggling at home lately, winning only one of their last five league matches played here. Middlesbrough recovered from a mid-season blip as back-to-back wins brought them back into playoff contention. Goals remain the focus, as Middlesbrough’s recent matches, as well as Swansea’s, have all seen exciting action. Our Swansea vs Middlesbrough prediction is over 2.5.
