Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers are set to meet in matchday two of the Championship, looking to build on positive starts to the season. Two points separate them after the opening round. This fixture produced zero goals last season, and our prediction leans towards another low-scoring outcome.
Blackburn are coming off a 2-2 draw with Wolves, a result they will not be very pleased with, even though they were away from home. The Rovers came from a goal down to lead into stoppage time before two points were snatched by a late Wolves penalty.
Now they go into a game they haven’t won nor scored in in three straight meetings.
Middlesbrough were very close to a return to the Premier League last season, only losing in the playoff final. This time they will seek an automatic ticket to avoid such heartbreaks, and they have started in corresponding fashion.
In their opening two games this season, Boro have posted straight wins. Their season started with a 1-0 win against Wrexham in the League Cup, and they followed it up with a 2-1 victory at home to Lincoln.
Taking into this match a three-game unbeaten run against Blackburn, Middlesbrough will be keen on making it four, with a second win in the streak. In regular time, however, their last five Championship matches produced one win and three draws.
