Middlesbrough Preview – Back-to-back wins for Boro?

Middlesbrough were very much in the mix for promotion a few weeks back, but their poor form coupled with Barnsley and Bournemouth’s excellent form has put paid to any late play-off dreams. The Reds will be eyeing up a top-half finish, though.

Middlesbrough came from behind to beat Rotherham United 2-1 in midweek, doing Sheffield Wednesday a favour in the process. George Saville and Chuba Akpom go the goals against the ten-man Millers at the New York Stadium. Prior to that, Boro had lost four and drawn one of five.

Our betting prediction:

Middlesbrough have struggled at home since the turn of the year, losing six of 11 in the league. In their previous home fixture, Mark Warburton’s in-form Queens Park Rangers left the Riverside Stadium with a 2-1 victory. Still, can Boro seal back-to-back wins on Saturday?

Sheffield Wednesday Preview – Can the Owls build on the midweek win?

Sheffield Wednesday have had a season to forget, losing 22 of their 43 matches. The points deduction has not helped their cause, but the Owls have struggled for wins all season long.

Wednesday are in 23rd spot with just three games left to play. Darren Moore’s men are four points behind 21st-placed Derby County and are level with Rotherham, who still have two games in hand. The next couple of weeks are huge in the history of this famous football club.
