Boro will be playing Premier League football next season after finishing runners-up in this season’s gripping campaign.
That’s the general feeling among nearly 3,000 Boro fans who took part in our online survey this week.
In total, 37% believe that Aitor Karanka’s side will finish second in the Championship this season, with 23% predicting Boro to clinch the Championship crown.
But just under 40% of fans believe Boro will have to settle with the lottery of the play-offs.
How will Boro fare in their remaining 10 matches? Fans have had their say below:
Revenge will be on Boro’s mind after being sunk 2-0 at Portman Road in December, and the overwhelming majority of fans believe Karanka’s men will bounce back from last weekend’s defeat at Nottingham Forest.
More than 80% of fans think the Tractor Boys’ wheels will come off their promotion charge this weekend, with less than 4% thinking Ipswich will condemn Boro to a fourth straight Saturday setback. We like that optimism.
In the first of four away matches against the Championship’s current top six, Boro fans are less optimistic about the chances of earning a league double against Derby.
Only 19% of fans believe Boro can back up December’s 2-0 mauling with another three points, while nearly 49% believe the points will be shared at the iPro Stadium.
The Cherries have had their mini-crumble and Boro fans believe Eddie Howe’s men are a force to be reckoned with again.
More than 45% of Boro fans think it will be a point for Karanka’s men on the South Coast, but 35% think it will be a long journey back following a sorry defeat.
Boro will enjoy their first of two matches to be held over Easter Weekend with a home win over relegation-threatened Wigan.
A whopping 93% fancy Boro to claim the three points, but it’s doom and gloom for 1% of you who think Malky Mackay’s men will upset the odds and win on Teesside.
That happy Easter feeling may not last, however. Boro fans are split on the result at Vicarage Road - but more than 86% agree that Boro won’t claim the three points.
Slavisa Jokanovic’s side are a surprise package this season, but for nearly 14% of you, Watford won’t be a problem in Boro’s pursuit of automatic promotion.
This is the result that Boro fans are most confident of in the remaining 10 matches.
More than 96% reckon the Teessiders will claim a league double over the Millers, after also running out 3-0 at the New York Stadium in November.
The odds are in Boro’s favour here as fans believe Kenny Jackett’s side will be dealt a promotion blow at the Riverside.
Nearly two-thirds of you believe Boro will win against Wolves, but nearly 29% reckon it will be a draw on Teesside.
Carrow Road will not be a happy hunting ground for Boro, fear the majority of fans.
An incredible 51% of Boro fans are fearful of defeat in East Anglia, but for nearly 11% it will be three points against Alex Neil’s side.
No problems here, as more than 70% of fans saying Boro’s last away day of the season will be one to remember.
Relegated Fulham may be in deep trouble by then - but only 4% of you think they will get the three points against Boro.
The curtain comes down on a hectic season - and there will be plenty of reasons to celebrate (say Boro fans).
Not only will it be promotion to the Premier League, but 90% believe Karanka’s men will sign off the season in style. Enjoy your summer!
