Birmingham vs Middlesbrough: Top Free Betting Tips

Middlesbrough faces the challenge of Birmingham City to continue their winning streak on Monday, 2 January. The Blues have struggled in recent attempts and faced consecutive defeats in Championship before this game.

Match Result Prediction: Middlesbrough to Win

Birmingham City has registered only one victory in the last six outings while losing three of them. However, Middlesbrough has succeeded to bring dominant play in recent attempts and five of the last six duels in the EFL Championship. The Boro have also been consistent in the away outings and recorded four victories in the previous five league visits. Adding more, four of the last five H2Hs of these teams at the home of the Blues have ended in the favour of the Boro. So we can expect Middlesbrough to add three points at the end of this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Middlesbrough has secured a fair flow of goals and rattled the net 11 times in the last five league attempts. Nevertheless, the front line of Birmingham City has been in trouble and has found the back of the net only four times in the last five outings.  All of the last four H2Hs of these teams have also ended with low-scoring outcomes. Following the given numbers, we expect the same thing to be repeated in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 0-2 to Middlesbrough

Birmingham City has failed to hit the target in three of the last four attempts in the Championship. The Boro have also kept two clean sheets in the recent five visits. On the other hand, Middlesbrough has been on the scoring side in all of the previous nine duels in the league, scoring more than once in five of the last six. The visitors have also kept consecutive clean sheets in recent H2Hs against Birmingham City. So we predict the Boro to take a 0-2 lead at the end of ninety minutes.
