Middlesbrough and Wolves Poised for Open Affair

Middlesbrough sit third after eight games and Wolves lie fourth after seven, separated by just one point. Middlesbrough have seen three or more goals in six of their eight league matches this season while Wolves have done so in five of seven. Both teams have scored in seven of Middlesbrough’s games and five of Wolves’ outings, and Middlesbrough have failed to score in none of their fixtures. Wolves average 1.8 goals conceded on the road and have kept only two clean sheets in total. Head to head records show over two and a half goals in six of the last nine meetings between the sides. Middlesbrough score two goals a game at home on average and Wolves have not kept a clean sheet away from home this term. The game could hinge on whether Wolves’ away defence holds against Middlesbrough’s home attacking output.
