Middlesbrough vs Stoke City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Middlesbrough have won 15 of their last 19 games
• Over 2.5 has been a winner in six of Middlesbrough’s last seven, and four of Stoke’s last six
• Middlesbrough have scored three or more goals in each of their last six wins
• Stoke have scored eight and conceded three in their last two games

Still hopeful of automatic promotion

Middlesbrough will still be looking up the table as they chase Sheffield United in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League. They face a Stoke side on Tuesday night, who currently sit in mid table, and have hit a good run of form recently.

This game looks like it will be a good one, with both sides scoring freely in recent games, while also struggling to keep goals out. Middlesbrough have seen over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven games and have kept just one clean sheet in their last six games, while Stoke have seen over 2.5 in four of their last six and have kept just one clean sheet in that time.

Middlesbrough have won 15 of of their last 19 games, and will look to do so again as they keep their automatic promotion push going, and as a result a prediction of Middlesbrough to win and over 2.5 goals looks good here.

Goals galore

Middlesbrough have scored three or more goals in each of their last six wins, while Stoke have scored eight and conceded three in just two games. It’s clear there will be goals in this game, and a correct score prediction of 3-1 Middlesbrough suits the form of both sides and their respective positions in the table – although there could be even more goals in this one.

Chuba Akpom is the Championship’s top scorer this season with 22 goals, and has scored six goals in their last five games and will look to do so again on Tuesday night. He is also Middlesbrough’s penalty taker.
