THE PREDICTION

Two Championship sides meet here in the second round of the EFL Cup with both having lost on the opening weekend of the league season. A good cup run is always welcome though and both sides will be keen to keep it going. Middlesbrough’s first-round encounter was particularly dramatic as they were 4-3 winners over Shrewsbury and you feel they may have too much firepower for Barnsley here, although Boro have not looked defensively settled yet this season so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them concede along the way.
