Middlesbrough host Brighton in one of the most exciting clashes of FA Cup’s third round on Saturday afternoon at Riverside Stadium.

The rejuvenated Middlesbrough side managed to break into the top five of the Championship standings after claiming their third consecutive victory on Monday against Birmingham (1-3 away at St. Andrew’s Stadium).

Match Preview & Team News

Michael Carrick is doing an amazing job with this Middlesbrough team. Boro play attractive football, similar to the one favored by Barcelona, Manchester City, or Arsenal (under Mikel Arteta). Carrick’s troops are scoring goals for fun these days. They have bagged as many as nine in the last three league matches despite playing two of these on the road. Can they keep it going against the Premier League opposition, though? Read on our FA Cup betting tips and predictions below.

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

Brighton also play attractive football under Roberto De Zerbi. The Seagulls will come into this off the back of two high-scoring affairs in the Premier League after the World Cup break. They dispatched Southampton 1-3 at St. Mary’s Stadium before falling 2-4 at home to Arsenal last weekend. Brighton hold the 10^th position in the Premier League standings and they have no reasons to calculate here in the FA Cup given it is very hard to expect them get involved in the relegation scrap anyways in the Premier League. It has been five years since these two teams last met each other and back then Brighton celebrated a 0-1 victory in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Goals Markets Betting Preview

Both Middlesbrough and Brighton have been scoring goals for fun of late and we just have to take the 9/10 odds offered for the Both Teams To Score pick here.

Betting Preview

Looking at the odds, the value has to be with Middlesbrough not to lose at their Riverside Stadium at the attractive 5/4 price tag.
