West Bromwich Albion welcome Middlesbrough at The Hawthorns, West Bromwich on Saturday, Apr 17 at 4:00 PM in a Championship fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
West Bromwich Albion come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Middlesbrough, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, West Bromwich Albion face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Middlesbrough have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in West Bromwich Albion won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives West Bromwich Albion a slight edge, but Middlesbrough are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
