Middlesbrough Blackburn Rovers betting prediction

Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of few goals. In addition to expecting a very balanced contest, both teams tend to adopt a more defensive style of play, where goal-scoring opportunities are hard to come by. It is worth noting that the market “Under 3 Goals” has been successful in 90% of Blackburn Rovers’ last ten official matches.

Preview
Middlesbrough and Blackburn meet at Riverside Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 3 draws in the last 6 matches.

The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Middlesbrough presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 31 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home tie against Cardiff City by (1‑1). In the last 10 home matches Middlesbrough has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Middlesbrough enters this match following a 1-1 draw at home against Cardiff, with the team’s only goal scored by Emmanuel Latte Lath. The home side typically plays in a 4-3-3 formation, favouring quick transitions, especially down the flanks. In this setup, the three forward players are Emmanuel Latte Lath, Delano Burgzorg, and Ben Doak. Notably, when advancing offensively, they tend to channel their attacks down the right wing, taking advantage of the depth provided by full-back Anfernee Dijksteel. Missing from this match are Sol Brynn, Tommy Conway, Marcus Forss, Aidan Morris, Darragh Lenihan, and Tommy Smith, all sidelined with injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Tom Glover, George Edmundson, Matthew Clarke, Lukas Engel, Anfernee Dijksteel, Law McCabe, Daniel Barlaser, Alex Gilbert, Riley McGree, Micah Hamilton, Delano Burgzorg.
Coach: C. Wilder.
