LiontipsWest Brom vs Middlesbrough: betting tip (cf 1.79) and bets on the Championship match (January 16, 2026) from UPU
Command Analysis
Before the start of the season, West Brom was considered one of the contenders for a ticket to the playoffs and the selection of players allowed the thrushes to set themselves such tasks. However, so far Ryan Mason's team looks very weak and occupies only 18th place in the table with 31 points in the asset, coming off seven points from the relegation zone. After losing 1-2 to Leicester in the last round, West Brom suffered their second defeat in a row.
Middlesbrough came to the start of the season as a clear contender for a ticket to the Premier League and was not inferior to any of its direct competitors in terms of player selection. Boro looked very strong in the first round and continue to hold the second place in the table, but Ipswich, Preston and Millwall are in close proximity and there is a risk of leaving the zone of direct qualification to the elite today.

Middlesbrough broke their long losing streak in the last round by defeating Southampton 4-0 and will certainly strive to build on their success today, as the competition for second place is off the charts. Obviously, Boro will be as aggressive as possible up front and it is unlikely that the crisis-stricken West Brom have a chance to stay dry. At the same time, the thrushes were in danger of relegation, and they could easily respond with one ball.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.79
