Blackburn vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 15/02/2019, 04:15  by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions

The two sides face off in the 33rd week of action with Blackburn playing host at Ewood Park, seeking their first win in four Championship matches. It has not been a smooth ride for Blackburn in recent times; they have won just five of their last 15 matches and will be hoping to cling on the home form that has seen them post three wins in the last five Championship matches. On three occasions in the last five home league matches, Blackburn have managed to score two goals or more and they have managed two clean sheets. Here they will be banking heavily on that form against a fast fading Middlesbrough side with just two wins in the last six matches and no clean sheet in the last seven. Surprisingly, Middlesbrough have been doing well away from home. The loss in their last away matches was just the second in the last 12 matches away from home in the Championship and given Blackburn have lost just two of their last 10 home matches in the Championship, this will be an interesting clash to follow. In the last seven meetings between the two sides, five have ended in draws, and Blackburn have won the remaining two. The two sides have met a total 90 times and Blackburn have 37 wins, while Middlesbrough have 28.
