Middlesbrough vs Swansea prediction
Middlesbrough have been relatively quiet in the summer transfer window, but they have brought in some seemingly impressive signings, such as Alfie Jones, Callum Brittain and Abdoulaye Kante. The likes of Finn Azaz and Morgan Whittaker are likely to thrive in the style and system that is preferred by Edwards.
‘Boro welcome a Swansea City side that were floundering mid-way through last season but caretaker boss Alan Sheehan eventually helped them romp towards the close with only Leeds United and Burnley performing better in the final couple of months. The Jacks will be looking to be outsiders for the top six this season.
This one would appear to be evenly matched on paper for the time being, as Edwards gets to work at the Riverside, and a draw may well be a good value bet for this one.
