Middlesbrough vs West Brom Betting Tips

Today’s football predictions begin with a draw no bet selection. The hosts have started the season in tremendous fashion and they have dropped just a single point so far. Since their first-half blip against Millwall, they’ve managed to keep three consecutive clean sheets and are also scoring goals. This game will provide a stern test of their credentials and it will be far from straightforward against the Baggies but they should be able to edge it. Darren Moore’s side have taken a couple of weeks to find their feet but they hit QPR for seven at the weekend and will be full of confidence coming into this game. Boro won seven of their last eight home matches at the end of the 2017-18 campaign with only Wolves beating them and they deservedly begin as favourites for this contest. Middlesbrough are 8/11 on the Draw No Bet market with Bet Victor and they are the first of Middlesbrough vs West Brom predictions. You can use their £40 free bet to back this selection.

See all of this weekend’s Championship Predictions

The Championship has not disappointed this season and there have been a number of very entertaining games so far. West Brom have been involved in a number of them with their 4-3 victory over Norwich one of the standout matches. They have scored 11 times in their last two matches and have seen BTTS land in each of their last four matches. Middlesbrough’s defence is difficult to breach but WBA offer more of a threat than Birmingham, Bristol City and even Sheffield United. Both teams have players who can provide flair and this should be a hugely entertaining televised fixture, a complete antidote to last Friday’s offering. The price on Over 2.5 Goals is 21/20 which looks very generous considered that West Brom’s game have contained an average of five goals per match so far. It is available with Bet365 and is the second of our Middlesbrough vs West Brom predictions.

The last of our free football tips comes from the anytime goalscorer market and we’re backing Martin Braithwaite to continue his fine goalscoring form. The Dane has been subject of interest from a number of European clubs and could still leave before the window slams shut but he’s started the season in prolific style and Boro fans will be hoping he remains in Teesside. The 27-year old has scored in three of his first four matches this season and could find the net again here. It may even be his swansong in the North East. He is available at 12/5 with 888Sport and is the third of our Middlesbrough vs West Brom predictions.

Fancy a goals bet? We’ve got Both Teams to Score betting tips for this evening’s action

 

Middlesbrough vs West Brom Betting Preview

Middlesbrough are priced up as the favourites for this clash and their home form suggests that they will be difficult to beat. Ladbrokes have priced them up at 7/5 with West Brom available at 2/1. If you fancy it to end all-square, it’s 11/5. There haven’t been many cagey affairs involving the Baggies yet this season but it’s 8/11 for the game to end up with fewer than three goals. Over 2.5 Goals looks a better option at 21/20. Britt Assombalonga is another player who has started the season well and is the 5/1 favourite in the first goalscorer market.

 

Middlesbrough vs West Brom Team News

Daniel Ayala should have recovered in time for this match and could make the bench. Rudy Gestede is the only confirmed absentee. Lewis Wing will be pushing for a recall. Darren Moore is unlikely to make any changes from his side’s 7-1 success against QPR. There are no new injury concerns for the visitors.

Stewart Downing should be able to get plenty of joy down the flanks in this contest and his deliveries are always welcomed by Britt Assombalonga. The pair make a deadly duo.

Harvey Barnes has started life at the Hawthornes in tremendous fashion and he’s put in a number of eyecatching performances. He should be instrumental in all of WBA’s good play going forward.
