Wigan Ath. face a trip to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Tuesday evening, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Most of the previous games have been drawn, but the remainder have resulted in a win for Latics.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Middlesbrough's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Boro have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Wigan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Latics's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Middlesbrough see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 22 points from their 23 games played so far, Wigan Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 20 points from 23 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
An indifferent set of results for Wigan Ath. on the road, and I believe this game is only going to yield a solitary point for the Latics. Score draw
