Wallace dances inside from the flank and bends a shot past Byrnn into the far corner.<\/p>\n<p>79\u2032 \u2013 Winner for Middlesbrough. A quick counter ends with Targett threading Whittaker through on goal, who makes no mistake one-on-one.<\/p>\n<p>The AI expects a fiercely contested midfield battle. With Boro likely to edge possession, West Brom will be threatening on the break.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of discipline, Gilchrist and Targett are highlighted as potential candidates for yellow cards. The AI expects this to be a physical and fast-paced encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Middlesbrough\u2019s home form and attacking variety give them the slight advantage in what should be one of the standout games of the Championship weekend.<\/p>\n<p>As well as our AI prediction, you can also check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/middlesbrough-vs-west-brom-betting-tips\/\"><strong>Middlesbrough vs West Brom betting tips<\/strong><\/a> ahead of Friday night\u2019s clash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We asked an AI model for its best Middlesbrough vs West Brom prediction ahead of Friday night\u2019s Championship clash at the Riverside.
