Middlesbrough - Preston North End betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 18/03/2023 played @ Riverside Stadium refereed by Matt Donohue

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Preston North End may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The Lilywhites stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 6.35 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Middlesbrough were given 1.86 betting odds to take all three points in the last round of Championship. Nevertheless, they failed to make good use of their favoured position and claim what was supposed to be an easy victory. Having drawn at both halftime and after 90 minutes, the hosts will be out to bounce back from the blunder this Saturday.

Preston North End won their most recent Championship game 1:2, so confidence in their away performance is quite high. The 2.80 odds most bookies offered for such an outcome can largely be attributed to the home-field disadvantage, but the matchup was no walk in the park either.

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.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Championship clash tells a different story. Middlesbrough lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

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.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.02 odds offered at 888Sport.
