THE PREDICTION
A controversial red card saw Middlesbrough recover from going a goal behind to down Rotherham 1-3 away from home, ending a run of six Championship matches without a win. They return home this weekend to face 23rd-placed Sheffield Wednesday, who triumphed 1-0 over Blackburn in midweek to keep their faint hopes of survival alive. Whilst Middlesbrough have little to play for here, Sheffield Wednesday are fighting for their Championship lives and that is expected to be shown in their performance at the Riverside Stadium as they look to cover every blade of grass and commit themselves 100% to all 50-50 tackles and loose balls. Such desire could see them rewarded in this one and with a number of proven Championship performers at their disposal, backing Sheffield Wednesday draw no bet may prove the smart play.
