Middlesbrough take on the visitors Bolton Wanderers at the Riverside Stadium in the 8th tour of the English Football League Championship. The match will be played in the eponymous city Middlesbrough on Wednesday, September 19th.
Middlesbrough are on the second place in the English Football League Championship with fourteen points to their credit at the moment which is one point away from the first place. The Boro lost only once in their last seven fixtures in the league and conceded only three goals which was a sign of their great defensive line. The team of Tony Pulis often shows great performances in front of their home crowd and beats even the stronger opponents. In their last three matches Middlesbrough lost to Norwich City with a 0-1 score, drew against Leeds United with a 0-0 score and beat Rochdale with a 2-1 score.

Bolton Wanderers are quite a promising team but they often struggle to succeed. The Trotters are on the eighth place in the table at the moment. If they don`t lose their great shape they will get only higher with time. It`s worth noting that it is often very hard and uncomfortable for any team to face Bolton Wanderers in front of their home crowd. The team of Phil Parkinson has had three away fixtures on the away side this season and has lost none of them. The Whites have beaten West Bromwich Albion and Reading in two of them and have drawn against Preston North End in one. In their last three matches overall Bolton Wanderers lost to Queen`s Park Rangers with a 1-2 score, drew against Preston North End with a 2-2 score and lost to Sheffield United with a 0-3 score.
In their last five matches between them Bolton Wanderers were never able to beat Middlesbrough (five losses). Furthermore, the Boro conceded only one goal overall in those fixtures. It is likely that they will get the victory in the upcoming fixture too.
Prediction for the match: Middlesbrough to win.
