Middlesbrough v Blackburn predictions
Middlesbrough head into tonight’s Championship clash with Blackburn in fantastic form having won their last three matches, scoring 15 goals in the process.
Michael Carrick’s side have scored four, five and six goals in their last three outings respectively, two of which have come away from home, including their most recent match which saw them come from behind to beat Oxford 6-2 on Saturday afternoon.
The strong run of form has lifted Boro into the play-off positions, currently occupying sixth after last night’s results, but can and will climb back into the top five tonight with any sort of victory.
The Teesside club are level on points with West Brom in seventh leaving tonight’s game a huge one, and will be looking to continuing healthily bolstering their goal difference tonight having improved it by 11 in the last three games.
Blackburn head north east for tonight’s game well rested after their match scheduled for Saturday afternoon at home against Portsmouth was postponed due to an unplayable pitch caused by torrential rain.
The decision means that John Eustace’s side now have two games in hand against some of the teams around them, and will be hoping to close the five-point gap between themselves and their opponents tonight in the final play-off spot that now exists following last night’s action.
The Lancashire side start tonight in 10th position, not having played since in two and a half weeks when they ended a three match losing streak by earning a 3-1 victory away at Cardiff, which saw them pick up their first league win on the road all season.
Middlesbrough have only won one of their last 10 matches against tonight’s opponents, who are unbeaten in their last nine visits to the Riverside, though Eustace is yet to get the better of Carrick in their managerial careers.
I expect Boro to get the job done tonight and continue their fantastic run of form against a Blackburn side who haven’t played in almost three weeks, and whose away record this season leaves a lot to be desired. I’m opting for a 3-1 home win.
Middlesbrough v Blackburn betting tips
Middlesbrough’s Ivorian striker Emmanuel Latte Lath has been on fire in recent weeks, scoring five goals in his last three matches including a second hat trick of his career on Saturday afternoon in Boro’s thrashing of Oxford.
Only three Championship players have now scored more goals than the 25-year-old in all competitions, who will fancies his chances in tonight’s game against a Blackburn side who are without a clean sheet in their last four games.
The Teesside club have scored at least four goals in each of their last three games, though have only kept one clean sheet in their last eight matches.
