Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

Middlesbrough are more prolific in front of goal than their opponents, and they look the best bet when they host Blackburn at the Riverside Stadium on Friday.

Middlesbrough are second in the Championship, having won 12, drawn six and lost four of their 22 games this season, while Blackburn are 20th with seven wins, four draws and ten defeats. They are separated by 17 points.

The home side are hitting their stride. Middlesbrough have won four of their last six Championship home games, and come into this match having enjoyed two straight successes at home.

The visitors are looking vulnerable at the back. Blackburn have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight Championship games and have conceded on each of their last three road trips.

Middlesbrough come into this in good form, having won four of their last five in the Championship, while Blackburn have failed to win in five of their last six league games.

It would be no surprise to see Middlesbrough score, having netted at least twice in six of their last eight Championship games.

Middlesbrough may be able to edge out Blackburn in a closely-fought game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams to score has been a winning bet in nine of Middlesbrough’s last 11 Championship games and they have six 2-1 wins to their name so far this season.
