Prediction published on 25/08/2023, 04:07  by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions

Middlesbrough will hope to rise from the Championship relegation zone when they travel to West Bromwich Albion next. After shaky starts to the season, West Brom go into this game placed13th and Middlesbrough 23rd from three matches. Hosts West Brom have at least tasted victory in the Championship this season, beating Swansea on Match Day 2. They however failed to build on it, drawing 1-1 with Leeds United on Match Day 3. Coming into this game undefeated in two matches should boost their confidence. They have however not done well defensively, failinf to keep a clean sheet in four matches this season. West Brom will also be banking on the fact that they haven't lost to Middlesbrough in the last two meetings. The most recent ended in a 2-0 win courtesy of Daryl Dike’s brace in the opening 10 minutes. In their opening four matches of the season, both teams have scored.

Middlesbrough have failed to replicate their good finish to last season, and are still searching for their first league win. A second meeting with Huddersfield Town this season was their most recent game. It ended 1-1 after they’d beaten Huddersfield 3-2 in the League Cup. That result handed Middlesbrough their first point of the season, recovering from a 3-0 loss to Coventry City. in three league matches, Middlesbrough have managed just one goal. They have failed to score twice in four matches and have no clean sheet in the four matches. In 10 away league matches, Middlesbrough have managed just one clean sheet. Both sides scored in six of the 10 away league matches but Middlesbrough failed to score in the last three. Coming into this game without a win in eight straight Championship matches will not favor them either.
