LiontipsBurnley vs Middlesbrough. Championship match prediction and betting tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Burnley, after being relegated from the Premier League, are looking to return to the top flight straight away and have so far largely justified their status as one of the main contenders for promotion. With 30 points, Scott Parker team is in second place in the table and is only two points behind Sheffield United, with Leeds and Sunderland pressing hard from below. Having beaten Stoke City 2-0 in the final round, Burnley secured their fourth win in a row and their 10th this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Beyer, Delcroix, Ekdahl, Flemming, Foster, Benson and Ramsey are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Burnley have won their last four matches
- Burnley have beaten Middlesbrough in their last two matches
Probable line-up: Trafford - Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Humphries - Cullen, Laurent, Anthony, Sarmiento, Koleosho - Rodriguez.

Middlesbrough, like their opponents today, were among the main contenders for promotion before the start of the season, but have not yet fully justified this status. With 30 points, Michael Carrick team is in fifth place in the table and is six points behind the direct qualification zone for the Premier League - such a handicap is not yet critical. Having beaten Hull 3:1 in the last round, Burnley won their ninth victory of the season.

2.29Tip and bets
Burnley have gained excellent form and have the opportunity to lead the tournament table for at least two days – for this they need to win. In attack, the Clarets are more than effective and at home they are capable of creating a lot of problems for the opponent’s not very reliable defense. However, Middlesbrough is unlikely to give points to their direct competitor, the Borough also plays openly and is capable of opening up the best defense in the Championship.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the outcome
Burnley, after four wins in a row, are in second place in the table and today have a chance to become leaders. The Clarets have not lost a single match at home this season and will clearly strive to extend this series - Middlesbrough is not an easy opponent, but is vulnerable away, and the Borough have lost their last two matches to the Clarets.
