MIDDLESBROUGH v HUDDERSFIELD TOWN
Tuesday 5th April 2016 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Middlesbrough will go in search of a third consecutive win in the Championship on Tuesday night when they entertain bottom half club Huddersfield Town at the Riverside Stadium.
Recent impressive wins over Hull City (1-0 at home) and QPR (3-2 away) have helped lift Boro up into second place three points behind Championship leaders Burnley, but they remain just one point above Brighton heading into tonight’s fixtures.
Middlesbrough will therefore be desperate to consolidate their automatic promotion spot tonight by taking all three points, and with an overall home record of 13-3-2 27/6 and the best defensive record at home in the division, Boro look well set to do just that.
Visitors Huddersfield Town occupy 18th place in the English second tier following their 1-0 defeat at home to Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday on the weekend. They now need to dust themselves off as they prepare for the tough trip to Middlesbrough on the back of a disappointing away record so far this season.
Stats of 5-5-9 23/29 has prevented Huddersfield Town from lifting themselves out of the bottom half all season, and despite recent wins at Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, The Terriers have struggled at the top half teams as their record of 2-1-8 10/19 shows.
With just four clean sheets to their name on their travels, I fancy huddersfield will struggle against the better organised Middlesbrough outfit tonight who will be pulling out all the stops to maintain their automatic promotion spot.
Pick: Middlesbrough to win @ 1.73 William Hill
