Middlesbrough vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Middlesbrough are fifth in the Championship but 12 points behind the automatic promotion places. That means they need to stay in the top six to again qualify for the play-offs. They need to bounce back from the weekend's home 2-1 loss to Brentford, even more disappointing after taking a sixth-minute lead and that loss followed a goalless draw at Wigan Athletic. Middlesbrough have only lost one of their last five home league games. Goals don't always flow at Middlesbrough with them only scoring 18 home league goals and conceding just 12. Only two teams in the Championship have scored less home goals and none have conceded less.
Preston North End are 10th in the table but they are only four points behind the final promotion play-off position They are unbeaten in their last ten league games, not losing since New Year's Day. The weekend saw them win 1-0 at Blackburn Rovers making it three wins in their last five league games. On their travels, Preston have won their last five league games, a massive improvement after winning only two of their first 13 away league matches. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.

Our Middlesbrough vs Preston North End Prediction
Middlesbrough have only one point from their last two league games and need to get back in winning ways. That won't be easy against an in-form Preston side that have won their last five away league games and are on the fringes of the promotion play-off positions. Middlesbrough games are often low-scoring affairs and the tip here is for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
