They currently rank 16th in the English Premier League with 35 points in 33 games and they are seven points above the relegation line.

Adam Federici (cartilage knee) is a major doubt for Saturday with unspecified date of return while Callum Wilson (ACL) is out for the season. Andrew Surman (knee) and Jack Wilshere (broken leg) are also out with unspecified dates of return while Dan Gosling (calf) will have a late fitness test.
MIDDLESBROUH FC
The Middlesbrough FC is in a much tougher position when it comes to survival in the English Premier League than their next opponent and it will be a quite accomplishment if they manage to avoid relegation. They rank 19th currently with 24 points in 32 games and they are six points below the relegation line.
Team is also in a poor form recently as they are winless in the last 15 matches of the English Premier League and without a road victory since August 21st of last year. They are 0-3-5 in the last eight games and 0-1-3 in the last four away matches.

Striker Alvaro Negredo tops the team in scoring and assisting with 8 goals and four assists. Cristhian Stuani also scored four goals so far and Stewart Downing collected three assists. Ben Gibson and Adam Clayton top the passing segment with 1517 and 1223 total passes.
Victor Valdes (Rib) and Grant Leadbitter (hamstring) are major doubts for Saturday while Rudy Gestede (heel) and Fabio Da Silva (knee) are listed as slight doubts.
If Boro’ losses this one they will practically be with one foot in the Championship. On the other side Bournemouth could completely get out of the danger zone in the English Premier League with a win on Saturday. My safe bet would be at least one goal scored by both teams because they both have to open up and play for the win.
MY PICK: Over 2.5 goals (-105)
Additional Pick: Both teams to score YES (-120)

HULL CITY FC
The Hull City FC shows some very good performances at home this season in the English Premier League and solid recent form has helped the team to get above the relegation line. Battle for survival is still far from over as they rank 17th with 30 points in 33 games, only two points above the spot that leads to the Championship next year.
They are 3-1-4 in the last eight games with two straight road losses but they are also 3-1-0 in the last four home games.

Will Keane (ACL), David Meyler (MCL) and Ryan Mason (fractured skull) are all major doubts with unspecified dates of return while Omar Elabdellaoui (back) and Moses Odubajo (patella fracture) should be ready in late April and early May.
WATFORD FC
The Watford FC ranks in the “golden” middle of the English Premier League table with no worries about relegation and no hopes about playing in the European competitions next year. The team ranks 10th with 40 points in 32 games and they are also in the middle of the both home and away league table.
They are 3-1-4 in the last eight games and 1-0-3 in the last four road games. The team is 3-3-9 on the road this season with 12-29 goal difference (37-52 overall) and they rank 13th in the road league table with 12 of 45 possible points earned.

Most common result on the road is a 2:0 loss (occurred four times).
Troy Deeney tops the team in scoring with 10 goals so far while Etienne Capoue has six in his account. Deeney and Jose Holebas are the team’s leading assisters with four each while passing segment belongs to Etienne Capou with 1229 total passes.
Roberto Pereyra (knee), Mauro Zarate (ACL), Younes Kaboul (hamstring) and Craig Cathcart (knee) are all major doubts for Saturday with unspecified dates of return while Ben Watson (groin) is listed as a slight doubt.
Hull City really hopes to win all three points in this match-up knowing that they are a solid home team. Watford, on the other side, really doesn’t need the points and are a poor road team. My bet here would be a close victory for the hosts.
MY PICK: Hull City FC to win (-105)
