This match sees Middlesbrough host West Bromwich Albion, with the two sides having met as recently as Jan 26, when West Bromwich won 2-3. But this time the game is different because West Bromwich just lost away to Newcastle 3-2 in the Carabao Cup on Aug 26, while Middlesbrough beat Doncaster Rovers 1-3 in the Carabao Cup on Aug 25. Both sides are on winning runs of 2 in the league, but West Bromwich are scoring freely and conceding late goals often, while Middlesbrough concede 23% of their total goals between the 46-60 minute mark. This game should be an open, entertaining exchange, but West Bromwich have the more effective attack, and the steady handicap price suggests the market doesn't have much faith in the home side.
