Middlesbrough welcome Sheffield Wednesday to the Riverside in tonight’s Championship offering and the home side will go top of the table with a win.

Middlesbrough are as big at 5/6 (Betfred) to win in places and that looks a huge price for a side who are unbeaten in their last seven matches.  The draw is 11/4 (Bet365) and Sheffield Wednesday 7/2 (Bet Victor).

Wednesday stopped the away rot when they ran out 3-0 winners against rock bottom Ipswich in their last away match but before that they had gone seven without a win on the road, failing to score in four of the last five and tonight’s task looks a tough one against a Boro side who have already beaten the likes of Crystal Palace and Hull at home this season. Their only home defeat was a 2-1 loss to Leicester but on the face of things this Sheffield Wednesday side do not posess as much quality as the Foxes.

Middlesbrough have score two goals in five of their last six home matches so the 2-0 and 2-1 full time scores have to be considered and given Wednesday’s poor away record barring that win at Ipswich, 2-0 looks the most likely at a best price 9/1 with William Hill.

For a safer bet, keep it simple and back Middlesbrough to win the match at 5/6 with Betfred.
