Latest news
Middlesbrough
📌 Middlesbrough are showcasing excellent form and currently top the table. However, there's a surprising fact - none of Rob Edwards' players have made it into the Team of the Week over the last three rounds. This suggests that while no individual stands out significantly, the 'Smoggies' excel through their collective team play.
❌ Midfielder Riley McGree has been sidelined since preseason and isn't expected back anytime soon. Additionally, the hosts have two new setbacks. Defenders Darragh Lenihan and Matt Targett finished the match against Preston in pain, making it unlikely they will take the field.
West Bromwich Albion
🎙 Ryan Mason after the defeat to Derby County: "I believe we did enough to secure all three points. Throughout the match, they only had one shot on target. I think we played an excellent game and completely controlled the first half. We nullified all their strengths. We were unlucky with the goal conceded, but in terms of structure, we performed well. Sometimes these things happen. It hurts, and we certainly didn't deserve this. We need to accept it, try to learn from it, and become better."
✅ The visitors have no significant injury concerns. The team is preparing for the match with a full-strength squad.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both teams are on the rise, but Middlesbrough hold the edge in current form and head-to-head encounters against the Baggies, having won the last three meetings without conceding a goal. It's worth noting that the teams have only exchanged goals in 1 of their last 5 head-to-head matchups. Therefore, we don't anticipate a goal fest and are backing both teams to score (no).No comments
