Middlesbrough Tottenham Hotspur betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Despite the uneven results, Tottenham have shown tremendous competence in the different moments of the game, and even playing away from home, the team must dominate and have the best chances of goal. On the other hand, Middlesbrough usually plays interesting football and in this game should score at least one goal. Thus, it is worth considering to risk in favor of goals for both sides in this game.

Preview
Middlesbrough and Tottenham Hotspur face at Riverside Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). There are only 2 recent head‑to‑heads between these two teams: on 04‑02‑2017, which ended in a (1‑0) win by Tottenham Hotspur, and another on 24‑09‑2016, which ended in a (1‑2) win by Tottenham Hotspur. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away win against Preston North End by (0‑2). Middlesbrough has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 23 of the last 57 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 39 out of 57 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Middlesbrough comes for this match after a 0-2 win against Preston, adding to their fourth consecutive win in official matches. In this match against Tottenham, the coach Jonathan Woodgate should play in 3-5-2 with Gestede and Fletcher being the most offensive references of the team: the second player mentioned is one of the best scorers with 6 goals scored. For this match the coach cannot count on the contribution of Assombalonga, Randolph, Friend and Shotton, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Tomas Mejías, Hayden Coulson, Patrick James Coleman McNair, Djed Spence, Dael Fry, Marcus Tavernier, George Alan Saville, Jonathan Howson, Adam Clayton, Ashley Fletcher, Patrick Roberts.
Coach: K. Hellberg.

Analysis Tottenham

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 35 goals scored and 22 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Southampton by (1‑0). In the last 10 away matches Tottenham Hotspur has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 43 of the last 63 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Tottenham heads into this match after a 1-0 loss at Southampton, putting an end to their two straight games without losing in official matches. Usually the coach Jose Mourinho aligns a very bold tactical system, in 4-3-3, being Harry Kane the man responsible for tormenting the opponent's defensive line. On the other hand, it is inevitable to highlight the quality of the midfielder Eriksen: this player is very technical and competent in the offensive organization. Out of this game are Danny Rose, Ben Davies and Lloris, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Paulo Gazzaniga, Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Serge Aurier, Dele Alli, Harry Winks, Christian Eriksen, Heung-min Son, Lucas Moura.
Coach: A. Postecoglou.
