Bournemouth v Middlesbrough Betting Preview – Premier League 22nd April 3.00pm
Bournemouth’s defence hasn’t been there for most of the season, but it may get an afternoon off as the Cherries play host to the relegation-threatened Boro, who are a long way from safety still. Boro start this one six points from safety but with a game in hand. So there is a chance but they have to find a win from somewhere as they are running out of time.

Bournemouth v Middlesbrough Betting Tips
Bournemouth have been struggling for wins lately, having failed to take one in their last four games and they are on a two-match losing streak. At the Vitality this season, the Cherries have gone W7 D3 L6 but they have won two of their last three, taking wins over West Ham and Swansea. The Cherries have a great record as they are unbeaten in their six previous home games against Middlesbrough in league meetings (W2 D4) and Bournemouth have collected a clean sheet in half of those. A Bournemouth to win to nil wager at Coral is a price of 21/10. The Cherries did lose 2-0 at Boro earlier in the season but with Boro struggling in the drop zone, Bournemouth are favourites to land this win. A Bournemouth 1-0 correct score at Coral is a price of 7/1. Clean sheets through aren’t something that Bournemouth pick up a lot of, with them having conceded two or more goals in all but one of their last eight home games in the league.
Bournemouth have conceded 32 league goals in 2017 but it’s still worth looking under 2.5 goals at Coral for 9/10. Boro just haven’t got the scoring power in their ranks and they have netted only the two goals in their last six Premier League away games and both of those goals came in a defeat at Hull. Those two goals against Hull were more than they had managed in their previous eight away games (1). Their relegation woes increased on Monday night when they lost against Arsenal and now Boro have failed to win any of their last fifteen league games now, having failed to score in six of those ten matches. Middlesbrough have won just one of their last 29 top-flight away games, beating Sunderland in August (D8 L20). Boro aren’t likely going to have enough to win this as Bournemouth’s slip ups lately have come against Chelsea and Tottenham, so that can be written off and the Cherries have Joshua King as 3/2 favourite in the Coral anytime goalscorer market.

Bournemouth v Middlesbrough Predictions
Bournemouth Home Win: This is a good chance for Bournemouth to get back to winning ways. It may take them some time to break through the Boro defence but they will probably find a way to get a win on the board in a low scoring game.
