Middlesbrough - Burnley predictions

Kickoff starts at 21:00 on 29/12/2024 played @ Riverside Stadium refereed by Joshua Smith

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Middlesbrough on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Things were going as well as to be expected for The Boro in the previous round – they had a solid lead in a home game against Sheffield Wednesday . The second half didn’t go as well, however, and they had to accept a mere 3:3 draw despite hte fact top bookmakers online saw them as firm favourites to claim a win.

Burnley’s latest away victory against Sheffield United was a shocker, to say the least. An away win was priced at 3.46 with top bookies going in, but they turned an early lead into a decisive 0:2 victory.

The first step Middlesbrough need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Alex Bangura, Tommy Smith, Marcus Forss, Luke Ayling for the hosts, and Nathan Redmond, Manuel Benson, Mike Tresor Ndayishimiye, Enock Atta Agyei for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

The 1xbet sportsbook is offering 1 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
