Burnley are facing an unusually slow start to the Championship and will be hoping for a rise when they host Middlesbrough. In stark contrast to 22nd-placed Burnley, Boro are up there in fifth. With these starts, our prediction here will favor an away win.
Burnley have only managed a point so far and are looking to rise from the relegation zone. It is not a position Burnley are used to in this league, but two defeats in three outings place them there.
Playing in the Premier League just a season ago, Burnley find themselves winless in regular time in their latest 18 matches. They lost 11 of those, the latest a 4-1 defeat at Norwich.
Middlesbrough have had a more productive start to the season, and here they take a two-game winning run. The visitors have only suffered one defeat in their first five matches of the campaign.
That was on matchday two against Blackburn, a 2-1 away loss. Ahead of this game, Middlesbrough have posted four wins in five.
Scoring three times in each of their last two matches will brew just the right amount of confidence needed for this encounter. Inspired by a Will Lankshear second-half brace, Boro overcame West Brom 3-1 in their latest outing.
The last two meetings between these sides were drawn.

Our Burnley vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Burnley are used to starting their seasons in the Championship so strongly that they look lost in the relegation region. The only point they’ve managed to bank so far was against a fellow relegated side - West Ham United. That was on matchday one, and they haven’t been able to build on it.
Middlesbrough find them on a 12-game winless run, and the visitors will love it that way, having won four of their last five matches. The Clarets’ troubles look likely to continue, and our prediction for Burnley v Middlesbrough is that Middlesbrough wins.
