Middlesbrough are on course for a very good season if they do keep up with their unbelievable early form. They have won three out of their four opening games in the championship and more importantly, yet to concede a goal. Nottingham have yet to even win a league match yet and hence I will back Tuncay and company to ease the visitors through. In fact, the Turkish international striker have been devastating for Boro this season. He and Johnson have led the team from the front and teams are still struggling to contain them.

Nottingham Forest might have some decent history behind them, but Middlesbrough do boast the better players at current. In addition, they might fielder weaker players for this game to salvage their poor start to the season and that will only play to the hands of Middlesbrough. Back the away team to make it though in normal time.

Pick: Middlesbrough @2.38
