Summary:
Middlesbrough enjoyed a nice season last year proving they belong in the top division. Everton should be heavily favored in this one and all the stats point to that. Middlesbrough will play in their own half for most of the game and look to pounce on the counter when the time is right. Ultimately I think Everton wins easily at home.
