We are forecasting the outcome of this Championship game:

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough

West Bromwich

West Bromwich

Middlesbrough will face West Bromwich Albion in a football match at Riverside Stadium on Saturday. Both teams are vying for promotion. Middlesbrough recently secured a win against Swansea City and are likely feeling confident after their 3-0 EFL Cup victory over Port Vale. Isaiah Jones, who was rested in the previous midweek game, will return to the starting lineup. However, several players including Patrick Mcnair, Hayden Hackney, Marcus Forss, Tom Smith, Darragh Lenihan, Riley McGree, and Lewis O’Brien are unable to play due to injuries.

The Baggies will face Stoke City after drawing 1-1. West Brom and Middlesbrough appear to be evenly matched and based on everything considered, we think that betting on a draw has high potential. Unfortunately, Matt Phillips, Josh Maja, and Daryl Dike will not be able to play due to injuries for the visiting team.

This game is scheduled for 12/23/2023 at 4:00 PM.

Prediction:
1-1

Player in focus (Paddy McNair):

Paddy McNair

In 2011, Paddy McNair followed his fellow countryman Jonny Evans and became a part of the Manchester United academy. To everyone’s surprise, he was given the opportunity to make his first team debut by Louis van Gaal at the beginning of the 2014/2015 season.

Even though he is young, the skilled center back has consistently shown maturity in his performances. There are indications that he will become a significant player for Old Trafford in the future. McNair started playing for various youth teams and later debuted for the Northern Ireland senior national team in a friendly against Scotland in March 2015. He then played in three more matches as his team secured a spot in the Euro 2016 finals.

In a surprising move, Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill utilized McNair as a holding midfielder during a friendly match against Wales in March 2016. After the young player showed promise in this position, O’Neill hinted that he may continue to use the Manchester United prospect in midfield rather than defense for the national team in the future.
