Ref: Alan Wiley My prediction: Toon win 1-0 (Shearer pen) Lawro’s prediction: This is a difficult game for Middlesbrough. They are playing in the Uefa Cup beforehand and know that next week they have a massive game for a place in the semi-final of the FA Cup. Newcastle are not particularly great defensively as we know but they had a great win over Tottenham last week. Prediction: 1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
