Middlesbrough - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 26/12/2024 played @ Riverside Stadium refereed by Anthony Backhouse

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Middlesbrough are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Sheffield Wednesday and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.70.

It’s highly unlikely that Sheffield W. will manage to get some points this round. The Boro are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

There is no doubt Middlesbrough will be highly motivated after their last round’s disappointment. Namely, they trailed at halftime and were forced to claw their way back to secure a point. And all of that while being first favourites at 1.55 betting odds to win the game.

Sheffield Wednesday put in a rather uninspiring performance in the first half of their previous home game against Stoke City. The latter 45 minutes, on the other hand, saw them take home a stunning 2:0 victory.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The fact that they’re playing as visitors doesn’t seem like much of a hindrance for a team like Sheffield Wednesday . In fact, their previous 3 away games were crowned by more than 5 total goals, so we can be sure that their attackers won’t shy away.

The 1.70 betting odds for a home win paint the hosts as the favourites in this matchup, and the head-to-head stats agree. For example, the two teams clashed last season, and The Boro won with a considerable goal advantage.

Thursday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Our research suggests that Both Teams to Score is a very probable outcome for this match. It’s offered at odds of 1 at 1xbet, which is fairly strong in terms of value as well. BTTS is both safe and valuable here – what’s not to like?

Betting tip (stake: 7/10): BTTS 1 at 1xbet
