THE PREDICTION
Barnsley are yet to win in this season’s Championship and have suffered a turbulent week, with manager Gerhard Struber heavily linked with a move to New York Red Bulls. It would be no surprise if preparations for this match have been hampered behind the scenes as a result, with the players’ minds perhaps on life without their boss. Middlesbrough, with Neil Warnock set to return to the dugout after recovering from Covid-19, should be able to take advantage of such uncertainty and record a solid home win here.
