Middlesbrough vs Wigan Predictions

• Middlesbrough have lost one of their last six league matches (W4, D1)
• Wigan have taken two points from their last six away matches
• Both teams have scored in seven of Wigan’s last nine away games

Carrick has made a positive start on Riverside  

Middlesbrough’s record reads (W4, D1, L2) since Michael Carrick took over as Head Coach. A very acceptable start to life as a head coach for the former Manchester United midfielder and a run which has seen Middlesbrough climb out of the relegation zone and into 14^th. Prior to last weekend’s defeat at Burnley, Middlesbrough had reeled off three consecutive league wins and they are fancied to return to winning ways against a struggling Wigan side.

Wigan look to be in big trouble

Wigan have won one of their last ten Championship matches (D2, L7) and find themselves in 23^rd place, two points off safety. Kolo Toure has picked up one point from his first two matches in charge; the former Manchester City defender needs to have a huge impact on The Latics’ squad if they are to avoid and immediate return to League One. Wigan’s recent away form will be a huge concern to Toure, as The Latics have taken two points from their last six away league matches

Middlesbrough to win in the outright market will be the main selection for Monday’s game, with a 3-1 home victory forming the correct score prediction. Both teams have scored in seven of Wigan’s last nine away matches.
