Middlesbrough Nottingham Forest betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Without winning three consecutive league games, Middlesbrough has slipped a few places in the standings and now it is very important to add the three points. On the other hand, the away team is facing a very difficult game as the opponent is one of the best teams of the English second division. In this way, risking in favor of the Middlesbrough's triumph in this game is the best option.

Middlesbrough is going through an irregular season and currently has three straight games without a win, and in the last game it drew by 1-1 against Burton. If the local team wants to play the promotion play-off, it needs to add all three points. For this match against Nottingham Forest, coach Tony Pulis is expected to re-align the squad in 4-2-3-1 with Downing being responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. On the other hand, Britt Assombalonga is the star of the Middlesbrough's team with 13 goals scored. For this game the coach can not count on Fabio and Gestede, both injured.

In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Sheffield United, by (0‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Millwall, by (2‑0).
