Middlesbrough vs Portsmouth Predictions

• Ten of Middlesbrough’s 46 Championship games last season ended as wins to nil
• Middlesbrough have kept clean sheets in four of their last six Championship home games

Middlesbrough were unlucky to lose 1-0 at Derby last Saturday but they should bounce back with a win and a clean sheet against Portsmouth. Boro have faced only eight shots (the lowest in the division) and they can shutout Pompey, who may need time to adjust to second tier football.
