Cardiff vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John in Championship Predictions
Championship cellar-dwellers Cardiff City host Middlesbrough this weekend hoping to earn their first win of the season. If the Bluebirds can pick up three points then they would likely move off the bottom of the table. Boro, in contrast, sit ninth in the table after three games, but come into this game having not won any of their last three matches. Will our prediction favour the home or away team to win the match?
Cardiff’s recent form doesn’t give their fans much hope of a win here. The Welsh side has conceded a league-high eight goals in their three Championship games but did at least end their losing streak with a 1-1 draw away to Swansea last weekend.
However, they were poor defensively at home in the Carabao Cup in midweek, losing 5-3 to Premier League Southampton in a game where the Premier League side scored twice in injury time.
Middlesbrough also shipped five goals at home in their last match. They were beaten 5-0 by Stoke City at the Riverside in the Carabao Cup. That result came after a 1-0 loss away to Derby County followed by a 2-2 draw at home to Portsmouth last weekend in the Championship.
Michael Carrick’s team are more than capable of a win on the road, but they are struggling for consistency. Both teams will have different reasons to want to pick up the points in what looks like being a tight game between two sides that don’t score too many goals.

Our Cardiff vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Our prediction for the Cardiff City vs. Middlesbrough Championship game this weekend is: Under 2.5 Goals.
Cardiff have a poor recent home record against Middlesbrough, losing three of the last four and drawing the other. The Bluebirds have struggled for goals at home while Middlesbrough come into this game on the back of a 5-0 hammering in midweek at home to Stoke and without a win in three. Both sides will feel getting something from this game, even if it is just a point, is imperative. That mindset tends to produce tight, low-scoring contests.
