    Tight, open Championship game — both teams score is likely as Bolton attack at home meets a high-scoring Middlesbrough. Boro have the league form edge, so they slightly lean as favourites.

    Bolton are at home but sit 15th, while third-placed Middlesbrough arrive unbeaten in 11 and have Lankshear's 9 goals. Both sides score freely, so an open game is likely. Middlesbrough's injuries and Bolton's home edge keep it close, with a slight lean to the visitors.

    Third-placed Middlesbrough enter this fixture in formidable shape, boasting division top-scorer Will Lankshear and an impeccable historical record against Bolton. The hosts have shown attacking competence but remain vulnerable defensively. Expect an open, high-scoring contest where Middlesbrough's superior firepower gives them the upper hand.
