Stoke vs Middlesbrough Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 17th August 2022
Match day four of the new Championship season sees Middlesbrough pay Stoke a visit at the Bet365 Stadium in what promises to be a gruelling affair. The last time these two sides facing off here came up against each other, Middlesbrough came away with a 3-1 win. Rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind at Bet365 Stadium.
While Stoke find themselves on the 16th spot in the table with miserable three points points after three rounds, Middlesbrough have also only two points on their account which leaves them 19th in the Championship standings.
Separated only by a narrow margin, a win for Middlesbrough in their upcoming Championship clash will see them swap positions with Stoke. Thus, a highly competitive match surely awaits at Bet365 Stadium.
Stoke only average a modest 1.1 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 11 goals. They also conceded 13 for an average of 1.3 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring three times.
Middlesbrough hit the target 12 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.2 goals a game. They conceded 1.5 goals per match for a total of 15 goals, while claiming two clean sheets as well.
Stoke vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Stoke claimed four points to their account in the last three matches, where they won 2-0 against Blackpool, followed by a 0-0 draw with Morecambe. Their latest game against Huddersfield resulted in a 3-1 defeat. Stoke won four of their previous six Championship games at the Bet365 Stadium. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded two and scored seven goals.
A single point prevents Middlesbrough from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 3-2 and 0-1 against Queens P.R. and Barnsley, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United. Middlesbrough claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads eight goals conceded and ten scored.
It seems both Middlesbrough and Stoke have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Wednesday, and we are rooting for goals.
