Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the EFL Championship match
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough had four wins out of six friendly matches, scoring 10 goals. In the last season, the team lacked four points to make it to the Championship playoffs, and only five clubs scored more than them. This summer, the team signed promising midfielder Aidan Morris from Columbs, while experienced Luke Ayling and Delano Burgzorg joined as free agents to strengthen the defence.
Swansea City
Swansea City ended the last Championship pretty well with three wins in a row, which led them to the middle of the table. In 46 Championship rounds, the team had total over 2,5 26 times, they like to play open football. In friendly matches against Koln (1:2), Vardar (1:1) and Rio Ave (3:0), the team play different ways, but in terms of names they will be weaker than their first opponent in the Championship
Middlesbrough - Swansea City Prediction
In the last two seasons in four head-to-head matches, total over 2.5 has been hit three times. We recommend betting on total over for this match, because both teams are known for their attacking styles.
