Predicted Score
1 - 3
Middlesbrough U21 travel to Derby County U21 as clear favorites based on form, league position, and historical dominance. Derby have the league's worst home record, scoring just 4 times in 7 home matches and conceding heavily. Middlesbrough come off a 6-1 win and have scored 11 goals in their last 3 games. Both sides are involved in high-scoring matches, so goals are expected. Derby may find a goal but are likely to be overpowered by Boro's superior attack.
