West Bromwich Albion welcome the visitors Middlesbrough in the English Championship – Round 30. The match will be held on Saturday, February, 2nd, at the Hawthorns (West Bromwich).
The hosting West Bromwich Albion have dropped so many crucial points lately. They practically don’t lose indeed, but they feature quite many draws. The team presently sit fourth and are quite safe in terms of their future so far. Another thing is that it would be nice for them to reach the second tier in the standings. Tomorrow, West Bromwich host a six-pointer against Middlesbrough. We don’t even mention the ‘Hawthorns’’ defense, as there are some issues there, while their attack is flawless. The hosts are most effective in the league. Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez have scored twenty-eight goals to the opponents at halves! The team make two goals per game on average. Importantly, they have been scoring in twelve successive rounds, and their last home play ‘to nil’ goes back to the 2017 clash against Everton. We are not sure if West Bromwich manage to win the visitors, but their goal looks very logical.

‘Boro’ boast best Championship defense, they allow under one goal per round. This record would have been ideal if they could have kept their goal locked in the last encounters. The guests’ defense is same secure, but they’ve been regularly netted now. Over the last five rounds, only once they succeeded to keep a clean sheet – in the clash with Ipswich, the bottom-placed league contender yet. Middlesbrough’s away record is not promising. It is possible that in the tomorrow’s matchup, they will be keen to draw and will try to play safe in their defense. Let us see.
As to bookmakers, West Bromwich are considered favorites. The Saturday game may end level, 2:2, or, it may see the hosts’ defeat. But the welcoming side will surely make a goal. Another possible bet is the one an overscoring outcome.
Prediction for the match: West Bromwich Albion to score over 1.0 goals.
