Middlesbrough vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

 by Sayak | in Championship Predictions

Middlesbrough host Nottingham Forest at the Riverside Stadium on Matchday twenty-three of the Championship. The hosts are ninth in the league standings with thirty-three points from their twenty-three games while the visitors find themselves at seventh in the ladder with thirty-four points on board from their twenty-three games so far. Middlesbrough come into the game with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth at home. The hosts have continued this trend of low scoring matches throughout the last few appearances. They have had under 2.5 goals in five out of their last seven matches. The key reason behind the low scoring games could be their ever-resilient defensive performance so far in the season. Middlesbrough have had three clean sheets in a row before the Nottingham Forest fixture.

Nottingham Forest come into the game with a 2-1 win at home over Hull City. The visitors also have had under 2.5 goals in four out of their last seven matches. Much like Middlesbrough, the primary reason behind low scoring matches have been the defensive performance of the visitors as well. They also have had three clean sheets in their last five matches. Additionally, two out of the last three meetings between the two sides also have had under 2.5 goals.
