Newport County Middlesbrough betting prediction

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match in disadvantage, since despite the 1st leg draw they have conceded 1 goal at home. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got an away win against West Bromwich Albion by (2‑3). In the last 10 away matches Middlesbrough has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Middlesbrough comes for this match after a 2-2 win at West Bromwich ground: the team's goals were signed by Assombalonga (2) and Saville. In this away match it will be natural for coach Tony Pulis to keep the team drawn in 4-2-3-1 to benefit from ball possession and the organized attacks through the flanks. Britt Assombalonga is Middlesbrough's top scorer with 9 scored goals. For this match, the coach won’t count on Caldara, Biglia, Reina and Bonaventura, players recovering from injury.
