Blackburn vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
Blackburn Rovers fell eight points behind second place in the automatic promotion race after their loss to Sunderland and they will be seeking to bounce back when they host in-form Middlesbrough Thursday. Third placed Blackburn go into this game with 39 points while Middlesbrough have 33 points, in 10th place. Blackburn Rovers have lost their last two matches ahead of this game; they are coming from a 2-1 loss to Sunderland in the league right after a 4-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. With four losses in six league matches, Blackburn Rovers will not come into this game very confident but the worst they can get is another loss here. They are the poorest in both defence and attack among the top six sides and the target here will be to improve their goal difference at least to something above the current +0. They can bank on home form for this needed improvement, having won six of their last seven league matches at home.
Middlesbrough bounced back from their defeat to Burnley with a 4-1 win over Wigan Athletic and this is an opportunity for them to rise into the top six. They are just two points out of the promotion playoff places and a win here would be crucial in that respect. Middlesbrough’s win over Wigan Athletic was their fifth in seven matches and they’ve only suffered one loss in that period. In four of the last five matches, Middlesbrough have scored two or more goals and each of their last five matches has produced over 2.5 goals with Middlesbrough scoring in each of the five matches. However, they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last four matches. They lost their last away match, 3-1 to Burnley and both teams have scored in four of their last five away matches, each of the five once again producing over 2.5 goals.

Our Blackburn vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Blackburn have a good run at home and will be banking on it to lift them against an in-form Middlesbrough but the two sides’ recent forms mean we can expect goals here. Over 2.5 goals has been a common feature in their matches and we can expect the same here. For the Blackburn Rovers v Middlesbrough game we will go for over 2.5 goals.
