Middlesbrough suffered a 2-1 loss to Portsmouth in their last game despite taking the lead in the 30th minute. The defeat followed their early exit from the FA Cup, and they have remained without a win in their last three games in all competitions. They have secured one win in their previous seven games. However, they remain unbeaten in their last five games at the Riverside Stadium.
Boro have dropped down in the playoff spot and are now 7th on the table with 41 points in 27 games, scoring 44 goals and conceding 34. Tom Glover will start between the posts after goalkeeper Solomon Brynn is confirmed out of this game. Alex Bangura, Darragh Lenihan, Tommy Smith, Jonathan Howson, and Tommy Conway are also out of this game.

Grady Diangana rescued a point for West Bromwich in their last game against Stoke City. The Baggies remain unbeaten in their previous four games (3 draws and a win). However, they are winless in their previous 6 games on the road and have won just one of their last 12 away games in all competitions.
The Albion moved to 6th on the table with 41 points in 27 games, scoring 33 goals and conceding 22. They have the highest number of draws (14) in the Championship this season. However, due to injuries, Daryl Dike, Josh Maja, and Semi Ajayi are all out of this game.

Expert Betting Tips
Middlesbrough are gradually missing the chance of booking a place in the promotion playoffs, which I think is enough to motivate them to get a win in this game. They have been unbeaten in six of their last eight games against West Brom, and Albion have won just one of their previous 12 games. However, I expect both sides to score due to the consistency of their attacks.
Our prediction for the match is for both teams to score (BTTS) for odds of 1.75 at Betway.
Our second prediction is for the game to see more than three goals (Over 2.5 goals) for odds of 1.98 at Bet365.
Our third prediction is for Michael Carrick’s men to win with odds of 1.90 at 1xbet.
