Middlesbrough host Bolton Wanderers at Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough on Tuesday, Dec 29 at 8:45 PM in the Championship.
Middlesbrough come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Bolton Wanderers travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Middlesbrough here — they've won 10 of 10 previous meetings against Bolton Wanderers. Their last encounter ended in Middlesbrough won 3–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Middlesbrough clear favorites, but Bolton Wanderers have shown they can grind out results. Expect Middlesbrough to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
