Middlesbrough Preview – Can Boro sign off with a home win?
Middlesbrough are in tenth place ahead of the final weekend of the season. Neil Warnock’s men were in the promotion mix pretty much all year, though their dreams were ended weeks ago. Realistically, a ninth-place finish is now the best that they can achieve.
After no wins in five, Middlesbrough have taken seven points from a possible nine. They picked up wins over Rotherham United and Sheffield Wednesday before drawing 1-1 with Luton Town last time out.
The club from North Yorkshire have struggled at home in 2021, winning just four times. Since the turn of the year, Middlesbrough have suffered six league losses at the Riverside. Nevertheless, can Boro end their 2020-21 season with three points on home soil?
Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Will Wanderers avoid defeat on the final day?
Wycombe Wanderers’ stay in the second tier has lasted just one season. However, Gareth Ainsworth’s men have certainly had a go. They need a monumental swing in fortunes to stay up on the final day due to their far poorer goal difference.
Wycombe are the form team at the bottom, winning four of their last seven. Last weekend, Ainsworth’s boys beat Bournemouth, who are gearing up for the play-offs. However, they have won just two away games since November.
