Blackburn v Middlesbrough Bet Builder Betting Tip:

Under 2.5 goals

This is likely to be a cagey affair, with Rovers scoring just once in their last three while two of Boro’s last four away matches have seen under 2.5 goals land.

Chuck into the mix the absence of 20-goal striker Ben Brereton for Blackburn, and this could well be a low-scoring draw.

Over 4.5 Middlesbrough corners

Middlesbrough have looked like a free-flowing unit under new boss Chris Wilder, and they’re averaging 5.38 corners per match in the Championship this season.

Rovers have conceded 16 in their last three, so Boro to land at least five corners this evening looks like a solid play.

Matt Crooks to be shown a card

Crooks has picked up seven yellow cards already this campaign and tops the Boro foul charts – averaging 1.7 per match.

With little to split these teams currently, it’s sure to be a tight midfield battle, and he looks overpriced to end up in the book at some point this evening.
