Match Preview & Team News

Everyone is expecting to see a narrow encounter, including the UK bookies who are offering similar odds for home and away win. Middlesbrough FC are warm favorites to claim victory at 8/5 rate. The Boro are currently playing a mid-week clash at Ewood Park, holding 2-1 lead against favored Blackburn Rovers, which is just another confirmation of their form being on the rise. Read our Championship betting tips and predictions below.

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

Middlesbrough’s appearances after the WC 2022 have been very good. The only loss happened at Turf Moor against the table leaders Burnley, but victories against Luton Town, Wigan Athletic and versus Blackburn are surely a great accomplishment. Marcus Forss and Chuba Akpom are in red-hot form, scoring total of five goals in last two league appearances. Home team will have much better chance to earn victory on Monday by stopping these two players. As for the hosts, the Blues are yet to play their 25^th match of the season on Thursday night at home against Hull City. Three points in that duel would be a massive bump in the standings, getting them almost into the playoffs zone.

Goals Markets Betting Preview

Birmingham’s last two games have ended with total of eight goals and there were only a couple of occasions where their back line managed to keep a clean sheet. We are expecting goals at St Andrew’s, so BTTS is the most appropriate option at 5/6.

Betting Preview

As for the secondary option, we see good value in backing the draw at 23/10. Both sides have grabbed a couple of solid results recently, and probably wouldn’t mind to share the spoils.
