Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Odds

Date: 11/01/25
Kick-off time: 12:00
Venue: Riverside Stadium

FA Cup action returns this Saturday, as Middlesbrough host Blackburn Rovers at the Riverside Stadium. Middlesbrough, managed by Michael Carrick, currently sit 5th in the Championship, while Blackburn Rovers, under the guidance of John Eustace, are in 7th place. This promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams looking to break their respective recent run of results and make a mark in the FA Cup.

Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers Betting Tips

When it comes to Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers betting tips, the form of both teams suggests a closely contested affair. Middlesbrough have been impressive recently, going unbeaten in their last six matches, although four of these have ended in draws. Blackburn, on the other hand, have struggled with five consecutive league matches without a win. However, the recent head-to-head record between these two sides favours Blackburn, who have won four of the last six encounters, with Middlesbrough claiming just one win.

Both teams have been involved in low-scoring affairs lately, with under 2.5 goals in their last three matches. This trend is likely to continue in this FA Cup tie, as both teams will be cautious in their approach. The best betting option for this game might be under 2.5 goals, as both teams are unlikely to risk much in a cup match where progression is key.

Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers Match Prediction

As we look ahead to the Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers prediction, the game is likely to be a tactical battle with both sides aiming for a solid defensive performance while looking for opportunities to strike. Middlesbrough will have the advantage at home, but Blackburn’s previous record against them gives them hope.

Despite their poor run in the league, Blackburn’s recent history against Middlesbrough suggests they will be difficult to break down. With Middlesbrough’s attack firing on all cylinders this season, particularly through Emmanuel Latte Lath, who has scored 10 goals, Blackburn will need to be sharp defensively.

Overall, we predict a close encounter, but we believe Middlesbrough’s superior form and attacking prowess will see them edge out Blackburn in a narrow win.

Match Prediction: Middlesbrough to win. Bet with bet365.

Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers Correct Score Tips & Prediction

When it comes to the Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers score prediction, the match is expected to be tight with a low goal count. Given the defensive nature of both teams’ recent form, a 1-0 scoreline in favour of Middlesbrough is a solid option. The recent trend of low-scoring affairs between these two, including their last two encounters where only one goal was scored, further supports this.

If you are considering other options, a 2-1 win for Middlesbrough could be a plausible outcome, especially with the attacking talents of Latte Lath, Finn Azaz, and Tommy Conway, who have all contributed significantly to the team’s success this season.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Middlesbrough. Bet with bet365.

Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

For the Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Rovers over/under goals prediction, under 2.5 goals looks to be the most likely market to consider. Both teams have recently been involved in low-scoring matches, with Blackburn in particular struggling to find the back of the net in their last five league matches. Middlesbrough, while effective going forward, have been more solid in recent weeks and may not push for a high-scoring game.

Given that their previous encounters have been low-scoring, it’s unlikely that this game will open up into a high-scoring affair, and the more conservative option of under 2.5 goals should provide good value.

Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
