English Championship: Middlesbrough v Brentford Preview and Prediction

The lack of goals being scored by Middlesbrough has been the real reason they are not much higher up the Championship table, but Tony Pulis has begun to understand that.

In recent games Middlesbrough have begun to be a little more adventurous with their attacking football and it has led to the team creating more chances. They have not taken those as well as they would have liked, but Middlesbrough have found a nice balance which could see them pick up some positive results in the weeks ahead.

There is no doubt this is a difficult game against a Brentford team that have scored plenty of goals, but the number being conceded is a real worry.

Brentford have also been beaten in their last 3 away games and I think they might have a difficult end to the season with not a lot on the line for the players to keep themselves motivated.

It may be the case at the end of a long journey to the North East and I think backing Middlesbrough on the Asian Handicap is the play here.
