Blackburn vs Middlesbrough Predictions

Middlesbrough instantly rebounded from the loss to leaders Burnley by putting four goals past Wigan on Boxing Day. Their top scorer Chuba Akpom starred with a hat-trick on the occasion. He has taken his total league tally to 12 goals for the season and is currently the competition’s joint-top scorer. Akpom and his Boro now have three wins in the last four league games and they will be looking to continue the strong spell of form on Thursday evening against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.

Match Preview & Team News

Blackburn are somehow still third in the Championship standings despite losing three of the previous four games. The latest defeat came three days ago in an uninspiring performance against Sunderland. The fact the Riversiders had only five attempts in total (two on target) against the Black Cats says enough about their current form. Head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson can also be worried about his team’s recent defensive showings as Blackburn shipped ten goals in three defeats in the last four games in all competitions.  Read on our Championship betting tips and predictions below.

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

Blackburn allowed four goals in each of the previous two home outings against Preston (1-4 in the Championship) and Nottingham Forest (1-4 in the League Cup). The Riversiders are now up against the joint-top scorer of the competition, a man who has just completed a hat-trick in the 4-1 drubbing of Wigan three days ago. The only positive thing for Blackburn going into this game is their impressive home form. The Riversiders won eight of eleven Championship affairs at Ewood Park this term.

Goals Markets Betting Preview

Chuba Akpom has been sensational of late for Middlesbrough. He bagged three goals in the thumping of Wigan on Monday. You can back him to score anytime here at the 9/4 odds.

Betting Preview
