Middlesbrough - Nottingham Forest betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 26/12/2021 played @ Riverside Stadium refereed by David Webb

Middlesbrough might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Nottingham Forest are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The odds are stacked heavily against Forest here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Boro are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.70.

The start of Middlesbrough’s previous home match against AFC Bournemouth was somewhat disheartening – they were tied on half time against what was widely considered a tougher opposition. A deciding goal in the second half ensured the hosts came out on top, however, in a 1:0 victory.

Forest secured three more points on the scoreboard after their previous home game against Hull City, though the performance itself gave the fans little cause for celebration. A relatively weaker opponent was in the lead for most of what should have been an easy match.

Middlesbrough’s form feels especially strong in the defensive department. They haven’t conceded a single goal in their last three Championship outings.

Forest don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

It will be interesting to see if Tricky Trees manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with The Boro this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

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.

This match is worth taking a small risk over, thanks to the 10Bet offer of the 1 odds for a Draw/Draw result in the Half Time/Full Time market.
