Championship, Monday, 22.04.2024
Only three matchdays to go before the Championship in England is over. At least the regular season.
The Peacocks don’t want any more play-off games. They want to take a big step towards direct promotion against Boro on Monday evening.
My Middlesbrough Leeds betting tip reveals whether they will succeed and which bookmakers offer the best odds!
Unfortunately, the resurgence came too late for manager Michael Carrick’s side. After picking up just two points from their first seven games, the gap was simply too big.
A few matchdays before the end of the season, however, they are still in a respectable ninth place. They are eight points off a play-off place.
However, the results of the last few weeks show that the season will not simply fade away. Boro have now been unbeaten in nine games (5S, 4U).
Just last weekend, they drew 1-1 against promotion contenders Ipswich Town, which added some spice to the promotion race
Because coach Daniel Farke’s side were just as unable to take advantage of the Blues’ slip-up as Leicester City, who themselves lost.
It was Leeds’ third game in a row without a win (1U, 2N). They are therefore one point behind the direct promotion places ahead of this matchday.
The offense has been a problem of late. The Peacocks have failed to score a goal in either of their last two matches. Will it be the same this time?
The bookmakers at Interwetten are not very optimistic about this in their Middlesbrough Leeds betting tip. The odds for less than 0.5 goals for the visitors are over 4.00!
However, the defense has been an important building block for the hosts recently. In the current phase, they are difficult to break down in defense.
Boro have not conceded a goal in any of their last three home games.
The competition has not been the strongest with Swansea, Blackburn and penultimate-placed Sheffield Wednesday. But it’s still an indication of where the game could be heading
In any case, the home side have one point over the Whites. They have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last five away games.
The fact that this resulted in their only one of five competitive wins away from home also speaks volumes. A solid defense is therefore the key for Farke’s team.
For your Middlesbrough Leeds betting tip, the suspicion is that if both score, the visitors will not win in the end. Betano Sportwetten predicts odds of 3.00.
Who the Peacocks should definitely keep an eye on is Emmanuel Latte Lath. He has scored five goals in his last five appearances.
Incidentally, each goal was also the first for his team. Will he score the first goal of the game on Monday evening, as he did in the first leg?
The bookmakers at Happybet are predicting odds of around 9.00 for your Middlesbrough Leeds bet if Latte Lath scores the first goal of the day.
As in the first leg, his opponent is likely to be Daniel James. Whenever the Welshman has scored this season, United have also won (12S).
I very much doubt whether there will be as many goals as in the Peacocks’ 3-2 win in December. At least the tide has turned.
Boro are on the up and can play more or less freely. There is a lot at stake for the visitors, which is why they will probably play a wait-and-see game.
My Middlesbrough Leeds betting tip is therefore: There will be less than 2.5 goals scored
