Middlesbrough vs Leicester City prediction

Whilst Leicester put an end to their losing run at the weekend with a hard-fought 2-2 draw away at Stoke City, they remain in deep relegation trouble and are up against a wounded animal in Middlesbrough. Don’t expect the Championship high-flyers to show any complacency after being held to a goalless draw by another struggling side in Oxford.

It would be a huge shock if the hosts were as poor in front of goal compared to what we saw from them last time out, unfortunately from a Leicester standout. The Foxes meanwhile, are certainly capable of damaging Boro themselves from an attacking perspective, but the all-round quality of Middlesbrough should win out.
