Middlesbrough and Wolves meet at Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough today at 4:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Championship. Just 1 point separate them in the standings.

Middlesbrough come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Wolves, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

In 10 previous meetings, Middlesbrough lead 6–4 with 0 draws. Their last encounter ended in Wolves won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Middlesbrough deploy a 3-4-2-1 while Wolves opt for a 4-2-3-1 — the midfield battle between those shapes could determine where the game is won and lost.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Middlesbrough a slight edge, but Wolves are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
