Wrexham vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Wrexham narrowly missed out on potential promotion to the Premier League last season. Coincidentally, it was their upcoming opponents, Middlesbrough, who denied them a place in the playoffs thanks to a 2-2 draw on the final day.
The Welsh outfit have struggled to match the standards of last season and are now closer to the relegation zone than the playoffs.
Middlesbrough, for their part, lost out on promotion to the top-flight following their loss in the final to Hull City. The Teessiders are eager to make amends and are the early pacesetters in the race for automatic promotion thanks to their two-point advantage at the top.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
