For the opening match of the sixth day of the Championship, West Bromwich travels to the leader's home ground for a high-level clash. Indeed, we are going to witness a duel between the leader and the last member of the top 5. It promises to be a great show from the kickoff, as the players in this match have the same goal this season: to return to the Premier League after years of absence. The best team after a month and a half of competition hopes to get back on the road to success fairly quickly. Held to a draw by Preston last Saturday (2-2), Rob Edwards and his players are looking to build on that point with a home win, where the Riverside Stadium is still undefeated in the league. Confident in front of the red and white crowd, Boro are favored by our sportsbook before the start of hostilities.

West Bromwich had the opportunity to be joint top of the table with Middlesbrough at the end of last week. It was a total failure, as the Baggies lost 1-0 at home to Derby County, a real disappointment. Fortunately for WBA, their results are better away from home! In fact, the blue and whites are high in the standings thanks to a perfect 6/6 record on the road. Suffice it to say that Ryan Mason's team has no fear of this trip, which makes the match even more interesting to watch.
