THE PREDICTION

Middlesbrough bounced back in style from their defeat at home to Norwich with a thumping 3-0 win over Derby. Here they travel to Huddersfield, who played out a 0-0 draw against Wycombe. Neil Warnock’s side have lost just twice in the league this season and look like a team with both the defensive and attacking capabilities to be challenging for the playoff places this season. Huddersfield have struggled with inconsistency this season and can’t seem to cobble together a run of victories to push them up the table. That inconsistency is likely set to continue here, with Middlesbrough expected to pick up at least a point in this match, if not all three.
