Middlesbrough - Swansea City predictions

Middlesbrough are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.87 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Swansea City may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

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

Middlesbrough left a strong impression in their previous home game against Sheffield Wednesday . The 2:0 victory itself may have been predictable, but the overwhelming success which they achieved is nothing to scoff at.

The away team are here after a close home defeat in their previous Championship matchup. Most bookies agreed that they were the underdogs going in, and the undecided first half didn’t change any opinions. Queens Park Rangers, the away team, ultimately took the lead in the second half and won the game 0:1.

Middlesbrough’s previous 5 games all featured two goals or less on the scoreboard. A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on past performances.

One way or another, The Swans’s recent outings can’t really be considered spectacular. The latest 5 of them ended with 2 or fewer goals on the final tally.

The Boro already have a victory over The Swans on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Championship, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.
