Middlesbrough – Swansea will play on Wednesday, December 2, starting at 19:00 in the 15th round of the second strongest league in the world, Championship. The match will be played at Riverside Stadium and will be led from the center by Keith Stroud.
Swansea prevailed in the last 3 direct confrontations and each time scored 3 goals.
The home team is in 10th place with a total of 21 points and comes after a 3-2 defeat at Huddersfield. Unsurprisingly, Middlesbrough conceded three goals because they had only conceded 6 in the previous 13 stages. Even so, the group coached by Neil Warnock has the second best defense with only 9 goals conceded, but the attack is not an impressive one with only an average of one goal per game.
The visiting team prevailed last weekend with 1-0 in Nottingham and we highlight the fact that it was the 9th consecutive match of “under 2.5 goals”. The success of the previous round brought Swansea to 26 points and is 4, two lengths away from the leader Norwich.
It is noteworthy that the team coached by Steve Cooper has the best defense in the Championship with only 8 goals conceded and only in one stage out of the 14 played so far it has conceded more than 1 goal.
So, there are the best defenses in this league. The offensives aren’t really impressive either. In 14 matches, Middlesbrough has scored 14 goals, while his opponent has 16 successes. So all the clues lead to a balanced game and
Middlesbrough, 2nd best defense;
Swansea, the best defense;
Swansea, 7 away “under 2.5 goals”;
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,73
