In my opinion Middlesbrough have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

Both teams without big squad problems, but some of their players were involved in national duties and we can see some rotation or tired players at both sides of the pitch.

First match of the season between both teams finished with draw 1:1, but without any shadow of doubt Middlesbrough played better there and deserved for the win. They created more chances to score and finished the match with 9 shots more.

This is huge game for both teams. Hosts and guests with real chances to finish season in top6 and fight till the end to get promotion into Premier League. Draw is not bad result at the end of the day for both teams.

I see slight advantage in form for Middlesbrough - they didn't lost in 6 of last 9 matches, on the other hand Bournemouth recorded only 3 wins in last 8 matches. Even when Middlesbrough lost their matches, they didn't played worse than their opponents according to expected goals scored model. When they lost on away 1:2 against strong Swansea (xG 1.01 against 1.01). When they lost at South Bermondsey against Millwall (0.69 against 0.64) - manager Warnock eas furious about that result. In his opinion they never should lose that game. I expect reaction from the team today.

In current season I don't see big difference between Bournemouth at home and Middlesbrough on away. Bournemouth failed to win in 8 of 19 home matches - according to xG they should 25.82 and concede 19.74. On the other hand Middlesbrough made at least one point in 11 of 19 away matches. According to xG they should score 24.72 and concede 18.01.

Current Bournemouth manager Woodgate is legendary defender of Middlesbrough, he still have big love for his club. He said he still watches Boro matches on weekly basis. He have a lot of respect for Middlesbrough experienced manager Neil Warnock.

I see very tight match and Bournemouth is not that big favorite.

在我看来，米德尔斯堡在今天的比赛中很有机会至少取得一分。

这两支球队都没有大的阵容问题，但是他们的一些球员都参与了国家队比赛，因此两队应该都有一些轮换或者疲惫的球员。

两支球队之间的本赛季首场比赛以1：1的比分结束，但毫无疑问米德尔斯堡在那场比赛中表现更好，理应获胜。他们创造了更多的得分机会，射门多了9次。

对于两支球队来说，这都是一场重要的比赛。他们都以有机会进入前六名，争取升到英超联赛。对于两支球队来说，平局是不错的结果。

米德尔斯堡在状态上略有优势-他们在最近9场比赛中有6场没有输球，另一方面，伯恩茅斯在最近8场比赛中只取得3场胜利。即使米德尔斯堡输掉比赛，他们的表现也不比对手差。在对阵斯旺西的比赛中以1：2失利，（预期进球1.01对1.01）。在南贝尔蒙德赛输给米尔沃（0.69对0.64）-主教练沃诺克对这一结果感到愤怒。在他看来，他们不应输掉这场比赛。我认为今天他们会做出回应。

在当前赛季中，我认为伯恩茅斯在家和米德尔斯堡之间不会有太大的差距。伯恩茅斯在19场主场比赛中有8场未能取得胜利-根据预期进球的统计，他们应打进25.82，丢19.74球。另一方面，米德尔斯堡在19场比赛中有11场至少不败。根据预期进球，他们应该打进24.72，丢18.01球。

现任伯恩茅斯的教练伍德盖特是米德尔斯堡的传奇后卫，他对俱乐部有很大的怀念。他说他仍然每周观看米堡的比赛。他非常尊重米德尔斯堡经验丰富的主教练尼尔·沃诺克（Neil Warnock）。

我认为这会是一场激烈的比赛，伯恩茅斯并不是赢球的热门。
