Betting on Middlesbrough Football Club
Middlesbrough finished fourth in the overall standings, keeping its hopes of climbing to the English Premier League alive. The team didn’t have a bad result in the last match, drawing 0-0, and now has a chance to secure a spot in the final with the support of its fans.
Middlesbrough’s home record is really impressive, having not lost in ten of its recent games played in this condition, with only two draws in those matches. This phenomenal streak is something the team aims to maintain in what could be one of the most crucial matches of the season.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Zackary Steffen; Tom Smith, Paddy McNair, Darragh Lenihan, Ryan Giles; Hayden Hackney, Alex Mowatt; Isaiah Jones, Chuba Akpom, Riley McGree; Cameron Archer.
Betting on Coventry City Football Club
Coventry City, on the other hand, couldn’t find a way to harm its opponent. Despite attempting 11 shots over the weekend, none of them found the net, leaving the team with everything to play for on the road.
However, Coventry City hasn’t put in a bad performance in its recent away games, remaining unbeaten in nine of them, and showcasing a commendable defense that kept a clean sheet in five of those matches.
Although the team didn’t achieve the best result, at least it remains unbeaten in the last three Middlesbrough vs Coventry City matches, so it can’t lose hope of advancing to the final.
Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Ben Wilson; Luke McNally, Kyle McFadzean, Callum Doyle; Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Josh Eccles, Liam Kelly, Gustavo Hamer, Jake Bidwell; Viktor Gyokeres, Matthew Godden.
JefeBet Prediction
Just like the weekend game, we’re expecting a tight match where both teams will play a highly defensive strategy due to the high stakes involved.
Moreover, Middlesbrough vs Coventry City matches usually result in a low-scoring game, with less than three goals in the last five matches.
Taking this into account alongside the good performance of the away team on the road, we anticipate a match in which not many goals will be scored.
Prediction: Under (MID 1-0 COV).
