THE PREDICTION

A close contest is expected at the Riverside Stadium, with Middlesbrough unbeaten since the opening day of the season and Norwich having not lost in their last seven Championship games, winning five of them. Despite an array of attacking talent on both sides of the park, the two teams will likely set up in a cautious manner, which may lead to them cancelling each other out. If a winner is to be found, it is expected to be through a single goal, but more likely is that this match simply peters out to a draw.
