West Ham vs Middlesbrough Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

West Ham vs Middlesbrough betting tips and predictions for this weekend’s Premier League fixture including over 2.5 goals and both teams to score predictions.

 

Can West Ham halt their slide towards relegation by seeing off Middlesbrough this weekend? The Hammers haven’t taken to their new stadium, which gives Boro a chance to claim a second away win of the campaign. However, Aitor Karanka’s side have only won once all season, and that was over a month ago.

 

West Ham vs Middlesbrough Predictions

It’s hard to tell exactly how West Ham have fallen so far. They have multiple problems to deal with, something they aren’t doing very well. Their last outing was a 3-0 defeat by Southampton at home, yet more disappointment for them at their new home. The Olympic Stadium isn’t quite home yet for the Hammers. They seem uncomfortable in their new surroundings. Middlesbrough have dipped in recent weeks; they have some defensive worries of their own. While they’re still scoring, they’ve shipped seven in their last three. With both sides looking wide open, we’re backing over 2.5 goals here and both teams to score for our first West Ham vs Middlesbrough prediction, which is 13/10 with Coral.

Total Middlesbrough Goals Betting Tip

The Hammers have conceded more goals than any other side in the top flight so far. That’s hardly surprising, since their last four games have seen them ship 14. In fact, their last game and a half at the Olympic Stadium has saw them concede seven times. That record should give Boro a great chance to add a few more goals to their tally. Our second West Ham vs Middlesbrough betting tip is for Boro to get a couple against this poor West Ham backline. Despite how badly Slaven Bilic’s side are defending, over 1.5 goals for the away side is priced at 2/1 with Bet Victor.

Middlesbrough vs Middlesbrough Team News

West Ham are still looking pretty stretched due to their injury crisis. Andre Ayew, Aaron Cresswell, Diafra Sakho and Arthur Masuaku are all out of this game. Without a full squad to pick from Bilic is struggling to win games.

 

Head to Head Stats

West Ham have won over half of their 24 home matches against Middlesbrough. These two sides haven’t met in the top flight since 2009, so their head to head record doesn’t tell us too much ahead of this one.

 

West Ham vs Middlesbrough Betting Odds

Despite their awful run, West Ham are priced as short as 21/20 with Bet365 for this one. Normally you’d expect them to win, but their abject defending ruins their hopes of taking all three points. Of course, Middlesbrough are in the same situation. Since they’re both lacking the defensive resolve to win, a 2-2 draw here looks like a good bet at 12/1 with Betfair.
