We head to the Riverside Stadium on Friday evening, where Middlesbrough will be playing host to Wrexham in the first round of the Carabao Cup. Last season’s fixtures between these sides ended with both teams scoring, and we are going with that trend to continue here as our match prediction.
After Southampton’s disqualification in the semi-final, Middlesbrough reached the Championship Playoffs final last season, but they were denied promotion, losing 1-0 to Hull City.
The Boro had a fairly underwhelming pre-season, drawing against Celtic and Espanyol either side of a 3-1 defeat to Huddersfield. They are now winless in seven games in all competitions (D4 L3).
The hosts' home record in the Championship last season read as W12 D6 L5. They played to a 1-1 draw against this opponent at this venue last term.
Meanwhile, despite not managing a fourth consecutive promotion last season, Wrexham had a very impressive campaign, finishing in a solid seventh place in England’s second tier.
The Dragons beat Leeds United in their first match of the Premier League Summer Series last month, but lost their final two games in that competition 1-0 to both Liverpool and Sunderland.
The visitors had the eighth-best away record in the Championship last season (W9 D7 L7), along with the third-best defensive record on the road with just 28 goals conceded.

Our Middlesbrough vs Wrexham Prediction
Both these sides had impressive seasons in the EFL Championship last term, and the two games between them ended in draws, 1-1 at this venue last October and 2-2 at the Racecourse Ground in May.
With both teams also experiencing mixed results in pre-season, we do not see a clear favourite in this one. However, given the attacking quality on display, we are expecting both sides to get on the scoresheet in this match. Our Middlesbrough vs Wrexham prediction is BTTS.
