Middlesbrough vs Norwich: Top Free Betting Tips

Middlesbrough will be desperate for three points when they enter Riverside Stadium against Norwich City for the next EFL Championship fixture. The Boro and the Canaries lost two points in the last game against Bristol City and Rotherham United respectively.

Match Result Prediction: Middlesbrough to Win

Middlesbrough has earned only one victory in the last five league affairs but they would be confident about the home advantage. The Boro have eight of the previous ten league games at Riverside Stadium and lost only once, that too against league leaders Burnley. On the other hand, Norwich has a tally of three draws, two defeats and only one win in the recent six Championship matches. Middlesbrough has also defeated the Canaries in the reverse fixture this season. Hence, we see Boro taking three points at the end of ninety minutes in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Despite getting through three winless games before this game, Middlesbrough scored five goals in that duration. The Boro have also arranged 14 goals in the previous five Championship games at Riverside Stadium. On the other hand, Norwich City has rattled the net six times in the previous four games away from Carrow Road Stadium. Moreover, Middlesbrough has conceded eight goals in the previous three league affairs. The reverse fixture of these teams this season featured a total of Over 2.5 Goals and we hope for the same in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough has scored more than once in the last four games in the second division. The Boro’s defence has also been quite favourable for them at home as they have allowed only five goals to be scored in the previous five games at Riverside Stadium. On the other hand, Norwich has rattled the net at least twice in only two of the recent six fixtures on the road. Middlesbrough scored twice in the previous meeting with Norwich and we expect them to continue the form to earn a 2-1 lead in this game as well.

Middlesbrough vs Norwich: Form, Recent Games, and News

Middlesbrough Preview

The Boro came from behind to save a single point in the previous game against Bristol City with a 2-2 draw. Aron Ramsey scored the first goal for Middlesbrough in the 58th minute and Matt Crooks equalised the score six minutes after. Michael Carrick will have a fully-healthy squad to rotate the team’s form and earn three points in this game.

Players to Watch: Chuba Akpom (Middlesbrough)

There is hardly a more impressive player than Chuba Akpom currently playing in the Championship. The striker has been a machine up front and has 26 goals in just 34 appearances for Middlesbrough in the current season. Given that the team has had several bad results in a row, Chuba Akpom has to step up his game in this match.

Norwich Preview

The Canaries entertained Rotherham United in the last match and were clipped to a goalless draw. Norwich City has secured only six points in the previous six league affairs and is now dropped to the eighth position in the standings. Przemyslaw Placheta is a lone fitness concern for manager David Wegner when he aims to lead the team back to positive form.

Players to Watch: Grant Hanley (Norwich)

Norwich have had their goals between a lot more players in the current season and it is far more difficult to pick a goal scorer against a team like Middlesbrough. Therefore, we pick one of the teams' most effective players in the back – Grant Hanley. The defender will have a difficult task defending against Chuba Akpom and company and we expect a yellow card, at least.
