Middlesbrough vs Liverpool Predictions

 

The hosts haven’t made an excellent start so far, but they do boast a strong defensive record. They’ve conceded 16 times in 15 matches, only four sides have let in less so far. Given that they face an out of form Liverpool side who seem a little shaken, could this be a much tighter affair? After all, Middlesbrough’s matches with Liverpool tend to be low scoring, with 14 of the last 16 encounters seeing less than 2.5 goals.
