Middlesbrough vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
Middlesbrough’s freefall continued on Saturday with a loss to relegation threatened Barnsley and they will be hoping to recover when they host promotion chasing Leeds United on Wednesday. Middlesbrough go to this game placed 20th in the Championship with 37 points while Leeds are second with 62 points. In their last 10 matches, Middlesbrough have not won any; their last win came on New Year’s Day, against Preston, which capped a run of four straight wins. They have dropped 20 points from the eight Championship matches played since, and have no clean sheet in their last 10 matches too. Middlesbrough have conceded two or more goals in four of their last 10 matches and they have failed to score in their last two matches. They also have no win in their last five home matches but had drawn four before the loss to Luton Town. However, while they have not done well at home lately, Middlesbrough have failed to score in just one of their last 10 at their backyard. They have lost just one of their last 11 matches at home and they will be looking to better their recent home run.
Leeds United, on their part, go to this clash on the back of a good run. They have recovered from their shaky form recently and going to this match they have not lost in the last three while they have two straight clean sheets. For a side known for a sharp attack, Leeds have rather been shy in front of goal, perhaps due to concentration on defending after a bad run that put their promotion credentials to question. In their last 10 matches, Leeds have scored more than one goal in just one match. They will be seeking their first win in five away Championship matches, having lost twice and drawn as many in their last four. They have no clean sheet in six away matches in the Championship and in three of those they have conceded two goals or more. Leeds United beat Middlesbrough 4-0 in their last meeting, making it three matches unbeaten against Boro, but two of those ended in draws. Of the last six meetings, three have ended in draws.

Our Middlesbrough vs Leeds Prediction
Leeds United have a good run ahead of this game; they have not lost in their last three, with the last two being wins. They face Middlesbrough, who have had a very poor run lately, going winless in the last 10 matches. However, Middlesbrough’s form has been a bit better at home and with just one loss in 11, they will feel they can go for something in this game. This will further be boosted by the fact that Leeds have not been so good away from home. While they have struggled away, Leeds know just how crucial a win here could be in their promotion quest and we expect them to put in a shift. With Middlesbrough keen to avoid sliding into the drop zone, we think they will give more at home, and here we feel a draw would be a good pick.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
