Middlesbrough vs Stoke: Top free betting tips

After putting together an impressive run of victories, Middlesbrough take the pitch against Stoke City on Saturday, 29 October. The Potters will also be determined to retain their form after consecutive victories against Leeds United and Sunderland.

Match result prediction: Middlesbrough to win

Middlesbrough have gone incredible recently by recording seven consecutive victories in the EFL Championship and EFL Cup. Stoke City have also found three victories in their last five league outings. However, they have earned only one victory in the last five matches away from Bet365 Stadium, losing three of them. Moreover, Boro has also dominated the Potters by winning four of the recent five games at Riverside Stadium. Therefore, we predict a routine victory for Middlesbrough against Stoke City on coming Saturday.

Both teams to score prediction: Yes

All of the previous three H2H meetings between these two sides have finished with BTTS outcomes. Stoke City have found the back of the net in three of their last five fixtures in the EFL Championship. The Potters have also allowed goals at the back in four games during that course. On the other hand, Boro have also scored in four of their recent five matches at Riverside Stadium, keeping just two clean sheets. Based on these statistics, we expect goals from both ends of the field in this game.

Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Middlesbrough

Stoke City have scored just one goal per game in three of their recent five H2Hs against Middlesbrough. The Potters have also notched just five goals in the last five league outings. On the other hand, Boro have notched multiple goals in four of their recent five matches in the EFL Championship. Defensively, Middlesbrough have conceded only four goals in their last five games at Riverside Stadium. In light of the current scenario, we predict a 2-1 victory in favour of Middlesbrough in this fixture.
