Brentford vs Middlesbrough Match Preview

Brentford is ranked at 10th place with 15 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. Currently they see themselves two points behind the playoffs zone so facing a direct rival here they will need to avoid defeat.

With 17 goals scored so far they have the best attack in the league, alongside Reading, averaging more than a goal per game. In the last five matches they scored nine goals managing to find the back of the net in each duel. Toney is on fire with ten goals and an assist so far and I guess he could be on the score sheet once again now.

Middlesbrough, on the other side, is ranked at 7th place with 17 points and is having a great run with three wins and two draws over the last five matches. Their unbeaten streak extends to nine games as they never lost a match since their opener against Watford.

During these nine games, they managed to scored nine goals in total and found the back of the net at least once in seven occasions. It is true their offensive side has not been exceptional but Brentford is a team which leaves spaces behind and Middlesbrough has proven to be cynical enough make the best use of the chances they create.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Brentford is showing a very offensive football until now and tonight they will try their best to win this game in order to enter the play offs zone. Scoring a goal is the minimum expected by them here. Middlesbrough has enough motivation to play well as they want to remain unbeaten and get a positive result. They scored at least a goal in four of the last five h2h games against Brentford.
