THE PREDICTION
Middlesbrough picked up another three points at home to Nottingham Forest at the weekend, whilst Blackburn fell to a second successive Championship defeat away to Swansea. Tony Mowbray’s side are suffering badly through injuries and Covid-19 related absences, something that Middlesbrough will hope to take advantage of in the same way that Swansea did. Boro are very strong defensively, conceding just one goal in their last five league games and the visitors look likely to not only win this game, but also keep another clean sheet against a Rovers team far from full strength.
