Manchester United vs Middlesbrough Match Analysis and Prediction

Manchester United and Middlesbrough are set to raise the curtain on the fourth round of FA Cup when they lock horns early this weekend at Old Trafford. Match day is scheduled for 3rd for 4th of February 2022 at 23:00 EAT.

The hosts come into the fixture as massive favorites to win and advance but we would by no means underestimate the strength and the form of their rivals here. The Red Devils have also been successful in their latest league games as they saw off Brentford and West Ham United in the previous two Premier League encounters.

Manchester United will hope for a similar result after 1-0 Premier League triumph over West Ham United in their last fixture. In that match, Manchester United had 57% possession, 18 shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Marcus Rashford (93′). West Ham United got six shots with only of them on target.

Their rivals Middlesbrough, who are currently in sixth place in the standings, have been one of the best teams in the EFL Championship of late. They won eight, drew one, and lost one of the last ten matches in all competitions. Boro conceded only one goal in the clashes against Blackburn Rovers and Coventry City, two offensively dangerous teams.
