Middlesbrough v Brentford predictions and football betting tips for the Championship play-off semi-final second leg this week.
Middlesbrough take the advantage back to the Riverside after a late strike from an unlikely source, Fernando Amorebieta made it 2-1 to the Teessiders.
Middlesbrough v Brentford Prediction
The first leg was a decent game with chances for both sides and neither side would have complained if it finished 1-1 but it was Boro who took their chance and they leave Brentford with all the work to do.
The Riverside will roar for Middlesbrough v Brentford as they look to kill off the tie and book their place at Wembley on Bank Holiday Monday.
It was a mistake from visiting goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopolous that led to Brentford getting back into the game, prior to that, Middlesbrough’s defence had looked on top and despite Andre Gray blazing over when it looked easier to score, and you can’t see them shipping many in this return tie.
Jonathon Woodgate is back from injury, but it would seem futile to change a back four who performed well for the majority of the match unless injury strikes pre-match. Patrick Bamford looks likely to shake off an ankle injury whilst for Brentford, Lewis Macleod could be back on the bench, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see two fairly unchanged sides.
Brentford need to get the first goal and take the game to Middlesbrough. If the home side get the first goal, with their defensive record, 3-1 looks fairly unassailable.
Fairly short odds, but I think Middlesbrough’s home record and the feel good factor at the Riverside will see them just about squeeze through.
Our first Middlesbrough v Brentford prediction is for Middlesbrough to win at Evens with Ladbrokes, if you haven't got a Betfair account you can get a £10 bet on at odds of 6/1.
Middlesbrough beat Brentford 4-0 in this fixture earlier in the season, but It won’t be repeat of such a landslide here, both clubs are in very different scenarios and situations as they were back then and obviously there is much more riding on this game than before. Potentially £100m.
I can see Middlesbrough edging it as on the whole, particularly towards the end of the campaign, there hasn’t been much in their games.
Our football tipsters’ second Middlesbrough v Brentford betting tip is for Middlesbrough to win by one goal, the odds are 14/5 with Stan James.
I think Brentford will score during the 90 minutes and I think it could go the way of Alex Pritchard, the departing Spurs’ midfielder who is surely destined for bigger things in North London. He takes set pieces and scores a few from open play as well. He is the best bet to score during the 90 minutes.
The third football betting tip for Middlesbrough v Brentford is Alex Pritchard to score anytime at 5/1 with Paddy Power.
