West Bromwich Albion vs Middlesbrough Predictions

• The hosts have scored in eight consecutive home games.
• The visitors are on fire and have scored in 10 of their last 11 away outings.
• Both teams have scored in all of the previous three meetings between these two sides.

Baggies need to bounce back

Carlos Corberán guided West Brom to 10 victories across his opening 13 matches and was rewarded with a new contract. However, since then, the Baggies have shipped six goals across three winless fixtures and if they want to maintain their playoff push, a positive result could be vital here. The majority of their points have come on home soil this term and they’ve scored in 12 of their 16 league outings at the Hawthorns.

The visitors are absolutely flying under Michael Carrick and will be looking to chase down Sheffield United for second place and as a result, automatic promotion. They’ve won 12 of their last 15 matches, and have scored two goals per game on average in that time and across those 15 games, only league leaders Burnley have accrued more points.

Goals at both ends looks likely

This should be a fascinating encounter at the Hawthorns between two outfits both looking to progress further up the table. Momentum is key and Middlesbrough have it in abundance. The visitors will feel confident of at least making 18 matches from the last 19 in which they have successfully hit the back of the net. However, West Brom need a reaction and they should find a way through here. As such, we’ll side with both teams to score.
