Middlesbrough - Cardiff City betting tips and odds

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Middlesbrough are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Cardiff City and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.77.

At 4.60 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Cardiff City are well aware of it themselves.

The Boro earned a standing ovation for the last round’s victory. The last Championship trip saw did not have them as firm favourites to win, on the contrary. They still did well enough to take the halftime lead and close the game in style (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

The away team went into their previous Championship game as both the hosts and the clear favourites, so it was a bit surprising that the first half ended in a stalemate. They went on to completely dominate the latter parts of the match, though, and ultimately recorded a 2:0 victory.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Cardiff have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

The latest example of a clash between these two sides we have is from last season when Middlesbrough managed to walk away with a solid victory and a 2+ goal difference. If the 1.77 betting odds for a home win are to be believed, most bookies are expecting them to repeat that success.

Tuesday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.83 at Betsson.
