AFC Bournemouth - Middlesbrough betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Middlesbrough are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, AFC Bournemouth should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It would be a minor miracle for Middlesbrough to win at Bournemouth, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.00 price on most online sportsbooks.

Bournemouth are coming on the back of an away draw (0:0) in the previous round against Sheffield United . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for AFC Bournemouth considering the 2.60 odds on them.

The fans of Middlesbrough aren’t happy with how things are going at the moment. Just last round they lost a home game to Hull City. The 0:1 came after a deadlock in the first game – and given that The Boro were favourites in that game, it doesn’t reflect well on their form.

AFC Bournemouth’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 6 goals in the last three away games.

The lack of home-field advantage doesn’t seem to take the fight out of The Boro. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and are bound to put a fight as they travel to face AFC Bournemouth.

With a loss to The Boro on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Championship match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.80. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
