Leicester City - Middlesbrough predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.65, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

Middlesbrough stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 5.15 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Leicester City were given a price of 1.29 to win their previous Championship home game, marking them as the hard favourites. As such, the final score of $SCORE was quite predictable, and they dominated their opposition throughout the bout’s runtime.

It didn’t take much for Middlesbrough to lose their previous away match – an early concession snowballed into a tight 2:1 away loss. Their travelling fans were not too happy considering they were considered to be in better form than Preston North End, the home team in that match.

Leicester have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

The Boro have a very strong track record when it comes to scoring in away games – 6 goals in their previous 3 games, to be specific. An Over 4.5 Bet is not often a good idea, but it might be time to consider one.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Championship season. The Foxes narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.68, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
