In this week 1 match on the 30th of July, Middlesbrough hosts West Bromwich Albion in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Middlesbrough has not played yet this season, and neither has West Bromwich Albion.
Middlesbrough is starting their season after ending last season at 7th place, while West Bromwich Albion is opening up their season after finishing last season 10th in the tables with 67 points.
