Middlesbrough vs Swansea Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Middlesbrough vs Swansea betting tips and Premier League predictions for this weekend. See our three bets for the match with reasons from our expert football tipster.

 

Can Middlesbrough bounce back from midweek defeat to Liverpool with all three points against Swansea? Boro are in relegation trouble, but they’re up against one of the worst sides in the division. They’ll be aiming to use that to their advantage, and get some crucial points up on the board.

 

Middlesbrough vs Swansea Predictions

Middlesbrough come in to this game just one place above Swansea, who are 18th. This is a real relegation six pointer, which the hosts can’t afford to lose. They need to take advantage of home games like this if they’re to stay in the top flight, but they have a serious problem up front. Boro have the lowest goal haul in the league, even with Alvaro Negredo up front. They do have a strong defence, so the Swans should find it hard to break through at the Riverside. That’s prompted us to back against goals here, we’re backing under 2.5 at 3/4 with Betfair for our first Middlesbrough vs Swansea prediction.

 

Not only do Boro have a poor scoring record here, their points haul isn’t that impressive either. They average just 0.88 points per game at home, while they have the joint fewest number of points picked up at home in the league this season. They’re clearly finding things tough, and Swansea are likely to be battling for anything they can get their hands on. That’s why we are finding it tough to see either of these two taking the points. Boro have failed to win 75% of games here, while Swansea have won just 12% away. That’s why we’re going with the draw for our second Middlesbrough vs Swansea betting tip at 5/2 with Bet365.

 

Middlesbrough vs Swansea Team News

Middlesbrough are once again without Gaston Ramirez, while James Husband and George Friend are both doubts. Federico Fernandez and Ki Sung-yueng are both out of this for Swansea. Bob Bradley is likely to shuffle his pack again as he tries to restore some fight in to the Swans.

 

Middlesbrough vs Swansea Head to Head Stats

Middlesbrough have one just one of their last five against Swansea. The most recent meeting between these two was a 1-0 victory for Swansea at the Liberty in the EFL Cup a few years ago. It’s not likely that we’ll see that many goals here either.

 

Middlesbrough vs Swansea Betting Odds

Middlesbrough are 21/20 with Coral to shade this game, while the Swans are out at 13/5 with SkyBet. However, we think this is going to be a low scoring draw. Given that these two sides have a habit of conceding; we can see a goal each. That’s tempted us to back a 1-1 draw at the Riverside to complete our Premier League betting tips for Middlesbrough vs Swansea this weekend, which is priced at 6/1 with Bet Victor.
