Middlesbrough and Swansea set for a close encounter

On Saturday afternoon, Middlesbrough and Swansea clash in what could be a game that has big implications at both ends of the Championship this season.
The home team are in a highly dangerous position in the English second tier, just two points above the relegation zone. A run of one win in their last 11 matches in the Championship has created Boro’s current position.
The one win came at Charlton in their last league outing. The north east side have taken four points from their last two Championship games, which suggests that their form may be improving.
Their recent league matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games in the Championship. Those low-scoring games may not come as a major surprise, as Boro is the lowest-scoring team in the English second tier.
Jonathan Woodgate’s team has struggled for home wins of late, having failed to win in six league games at Riverside Stadium. Their recent home matches in the Championship have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.
While Boro battle to preserve their Championship status, Swansea are still very much in the play-off picture. The Welsh team are just three points outside the play-off positions in the second tier.
A woeful recent run of results in the Championship has rather hindered their chances of booking a spot in those lucrative top-six spots. They head into this having won just one of their last nine league games.
Swansea have struggled for goals this season, as no team in the second tier has scored fewer goals in the top 17 of the table. A winless run of seven away games in the Championship has not helped their promotion chances either.
Forebet predicts that neither side will further their cause in this clash, with the game finishing in a high-scoring draw.
