Swansea go up against Middlesbrough on Saturday for a Championship meeting at Riverside Stadium.

The last time Middlesbrough played Swansea, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win this coming Saturday.

That is an average of one goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet four times in those matches.

Middlesbrough vs Swansea Prediction

Middlesbrough Form

In the previous three matches, Middlesbrough lost 3-4 against Leeds, beat Cardiff by 1-4 and won 3-1 against Watford. Middlesbrough won four of their previous six Championship games at the Riverside Stadium. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded six and scored 13 goals.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Middlesbrough a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Swansea Form

In their previous three matches, Swansea won 0-4 against Huddersfield, drew 2-2 with Norwich before losing 0-1 against Millwall. Swansea claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Championship. They also drew three and were defeated two times, as they were outscored by seven goals to eight.

Middlesbrough enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Middlesbrough renew Swansea their acquaintance.
