THE PREDICTION
Swansea secured a hard-fought 1-2 win away at Stoke last time out to leave themselves in fourth place and just a point off the automatic promotion places as they bounced back well from defeat at Bristol City. They host a Middlesbrough side fresh from victory away at Coventry and who have won three of their last five Championship matches. The last three matches involving Boro have seen both teams score, which has also been the case in three of Swansea’s last four games. Each side pose a dangerous attacking threat, but differing styles of play with Swansea expected to dominate possession, whilst Middlesbrough boast an aerial threat alongside pace on the counter attack. This should lead to an intriguing encounter with each team expected to enjoy success in the opposition half so consider both teams to score here.
