Middlesbrough vs Sunderland

The upcoming match between Middlesbrough and Sunderland is shaping up to be an interesting one. Middlesbrough, despite having a strong chance of taking home three points, is entering the game with a defensive line in poor form, even at home. On the other hand, Sunderland has been playing good football both at home and away, and has managed to secure positive results in their last 5 matches. Looking at recent form, the away team seems to be the favorite in this encounter.
