Middlesbrough - West Bromwich Albion predictions

Though Middlesbrough are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

The previous round ended in a relatively easy away win for Middlesbrough. They snatched an early advantage against Swansea City and maintained it until the end, prevailing with a 1-goal lead in a 1:2 win.

Last round was rather disappointing for West Bromwich Albion, who were favourites in a home game against Stoke City. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their The Baggies’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 1:1 draw was nothing to be proud about.

Middlesbrough gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 7 conceded goals.

Win or lose, The Baggies always seem to at least get their name on the score board. They scored at least once in 7 consecutive matches leading up to this one.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and The Baggies carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Middlesbrough as somewhat more likely to win.

On Saturday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

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 2.04 odds offered at 888Sport.
