We said: Middlesbrough 1-0 Blackburn Rovers

 We can envisage a tight game between these teams, with neither heading into the encounter in good form at all despite Blackburn's superior position in the table. Both sides generally line-up in 3-5-2 formations, which could make it difficult to find space in between the lines for the more talented players on the pitch, potentially favouring Middlesbrough in front of their home support.
