Barnsley - Middlesbrough betting tips and odds

Barnsley managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 4.50 for a home win.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Middlesbrough to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

The Tykes have a lot of reasons to be proud of their previous Championship performance. Their opponents Hull City were hard favourites and had the home-field advantage, but Barnsley pulled ahead in the first half. The end result was a stunning 0:2 away win.

Middlesbrough’s performance in the first half against West Bromwich Albion was disheartening, considering they entered the field as slight favourites. However, they equalized in the last 45-minutes and proceeded to snag a narrow, but well-earned 2:1 away win.

Despite the advantage of playing at home, the hosts’ most recent two games were relatively unimpressive. Both ended with less than 2 goals in total, indicating that this one will likely take the same route.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Middlesbrough have netted 7 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, The Boro walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 1.96 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

With odds being at 1.96 with Betsson, an Away Win is an easy bet to make. They have the upper hand in this clash despite the home field disadvantage.
