Swansea won't lose
This season has not been very kind on Middlesbrough; so far, Boro are winless in six matches this season, with three draws and three losses. Like Middlesbrough, Swansea have also struggled to find their footing this season; in six matches, the Swans have one win, two draws and three losses. These are two sides that don't win a lot of games; considering two of Boro's last three games ended in draws, while three of Swansea's last six games were level at the end of regulation time, this match will likely end in a stalemate. Looking at the odds offered here, we would like to cover Swansea as well.
Goals to be seen at both ends
Middlesbrough and Swansea have faced off a lot of times, and most of those clashes featured goals at both ends; in fact, both teams were on the score sheet in five of the last seven clashes between these teams. In the same vein, we would like to point out that both teams have not been able to keep the goals out. Middlesbrough conceded in all of their last six games, while Swansea kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 matches. We should also point out that both teams scored in four of Middlesbrough's last six, and in 12 of Swansea's last 16 matches; that's why we think that both teams will find the back of the net.

Can Boro bag first win of the season?
Barring Coventry, who have only played two games so far, Middlesbrough have been the worst team in the division during these early days of the season; they really need to spark into life soon if they're to mount a serious tilt at the top six. Thankfully for them, Swansea aren't doing all that much better with an average of one point per match. It doesn't scream out “classic” but we'll see – both should be doing all they can for the win.
Middlesbrough have been one of the worst teams in the Championship so far; they have no wins in six matches across all competitions, with three draws and three losses. Boro will welcome Swansea to the Riverside Stadium on Saturday; they'll be eyeing their first win of the season here.
Middlesbrough Predicted lineup – Steffen, Fry, Lenihan, Bola, Jones, McNair, Howson, Mowatt, Giles, McGree, Forss
Things have not gone too well for Swansea so far this season; they've won just one of six games in all competitions, with two draws and three losses. The Swans are now 20th on the Championship table, with five points from a possible 15; they'll fancy their chances of taking all the points against a struggling Middlesbrough side.
Swansea City Predicted lineup – Fisher, Wood-Gordon, Darling, Cabango, Manning, Grimes, Allen, Sorinola, Piroe, Ntcham, Obafemi
