Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th October 2022

The Championship game at Riverside Stadium this coming Saturday will see visitors Blackburn facing home side Middlesbrough. Blackburn ran out 1-0 winners the last time these two rivals played each other and are definitely planning to claim three points again on Saturday.
Middlesbrough are number 21 in the table on 13 points after 13 matches. Blackburn rank as number seven with 21 points after 14 matches played.
With both Middlesbrough and Blackburn coming off disappointing defeats in their previous outing, we could be in for a cautious battle. Both will be eager to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later.
Middlesbrough are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net nine times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.9 goals per game, as they conceded 12 goals. They managed three clean sheets in these matches.
Blackburn travel to their next Championship match, averaging a lowly one goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of ten goals, while also conceding 12 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.2 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring three times.
Middlesbrough vs Blackburn Prediction
Middlesbrough form
In their previous three games, Middlesbrough lost 1-0 against Coventry, beat Birmingham 1-0, before losing 2-0 against Millwall. Middlesbrough won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored eight and conceded six goals.
Middlesbrough entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.
Blackburn Form
In their previous three outings, Blackburn lost 1-0 against Cardiff, beat Rotherham 3-0 and lost 1-0 against Wigan. Blackburn managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Championship. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring ten time and letting in one.
An optimal season could perhaps see Blackburn qualifying for Europe, but so far they look well underway to a nice mid-table finish.
Middlesbrough find it just as tough as Blackburn to get on the scoreboard these days, and a match short on goal looks highly likely, when they clash at Riverside Stadium.
Blackburn won two of their previous two outings against teams from the bottom six and claimed six points. They scored three and conceded one goals.
