Middlesbrough vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Sridhar | in Championship Predictions
The matchday 30 meeting between Middlesbrough and Sunderland on Monday brings out an interesting battle for Championship playoff places. This match at the Riverside Stadium between the 7th-placed Boro and the 4th-placed Black Cats comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Middlesbrough has 44 points from 29 matches and is just outside the top six spots by goal difference. Sunderland has 55 points and is three behind third-placed Burnley.
A 2-1 away loss to Preston last week was a third defeat in four matches for Middlesbrough in all competitions. Recent results haven’t been comforting in the league, as Boro could win just two of their last eight matches, drawing four and losing two.
Despite that, a run of three wins and three draws in their last six home league matches suggests Middlesbrough won’t be easy to beat.
Sunderland drew 2-2 at home against Plymouth in their last match, which meant they could win only one of their last four competitive games. League form puts them in better shape, though, as Sunderland were beaten in just one of their last 11 league matches.
If there’s a concern for the visitors, it’s their away form, as they were drawing too many matches for comfort. Sunderland won only two of their last nine away league games, but five draws are perhaps too many points dropped.

Our Middlesbrough vs Sunderland Prediction
Sunderland won the reverse fixture 1-0 and haven’t done a league double over Middlesbrough for the first time in many seasons. More than that, the Black Cats will keep pushing for a top-two spot, which isn’t far off and one that will confirm direct promotion. As for Middlesbrough, the recent dip in form has seen them drop out of the playoff zone, and a win here will get them back on track. Either way, both teams are likely to play it safe and tight. That’s why our Middlesbrough v Sunderland prediction is under 2.5.
