Middlesbrough – Stoke City, Championship Prediction

Boro are fighting a very tough battle to survive this season. They cannot have the illusion that they have a lot of time. These are the matches with direct survival competitors that are most important for the season really. Borough took some victories in the last games, but in particular in the latter they played poorly again with the loss of Swansea, and it was expected to make them difficult given the problems of the Swans at the moment. Boro are a solid host, as far as one can tell, but they need more efficiency in the front positions to be able to make the draws wins.

Stoke are in a worse position than Middlesbrough, but their form is slightly better in recent games. Bookmakers are a favorite because they have more class players. Let’s not forget that some of these players actually played on the team when he was still in the Premier League, so here we are talking about huge problems in the management of the club. The potters have some good performances away from home, so they’re not to be underestimated, though.

 Expert view : Making a prediction between two teams struggling to survive, even more so in the Championship, is a serious responsibility. In fact, the forces are aligned, and the form of the two teams is extremely volatile. We plan to bet on a double chance for Borough simply because they have proven to be a relatively difficult opponent to overcome when playing at home, and the fact that Stoke is having troubles to win as a guest at Middlesbrough is also important. This is not our safest prediction for today, however. Prediction – Boro or draw at 1.55.

Stoke has only 2 wins as a guest in the league
