Middlesbrough v Bolton Predictions & Betting Odds – 19th September 2018

Boro to blank the Trotters at the Riverside

Championship Betting

Middlesbrough v Bolton Betting Tips – Championship, 19th September 7.45pm

Boro continue to look one of the best sides in the division this season and they are so difficult to beat. They are in fine form overall but suffered their first defeat of the season last time out. The Trotters haven’t done too badly themselves but their form has just hit a rough patch after a strong start to the new campaign. Can they compete at the Riverside? Read our predictions for Middlesbrough v Bolton.

Middlesbrough News and Form

So it will be interesting to see how Middlesbrough respond to having suffered their first defeat of the season. They lost 1-0 against Norwich last weekend and that makes it back to back games without a goal for them. Those blanks were both away from home though. At the Riverside, they have won all three of their games and each of those were with a clean sheet as well. We can comfortably look at Middlesbrough to win to nil is at 11/10 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on September 17th, 2018 at 11:22 pm).

Given the form that Middlesbrough have produced then this season, it will lead to some good options to consider in the correct score market. A Middlesbrough 1-0 has big appeal at 9/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:22 pm). We can look to a trend there as well because Middlesbrough are on a four-match winning streak at home with a clean sheet against Bolton. While Boro are easily the best defensive side in the division (five clean sheets in seven games) scoring goals remains a bit of a problem.

Bolton News and Form

Bolton have started to decline after such a positive start to the new season. After going W3 D1 in their first four games of the season they have slumped to a D1 L3 record. In each of their last three, they have conceded at least two goals as well. Out on their travels in the Championship this season they have remained undefeated with a W2 D1 record, picking up a 2-2 draw at Preston last time away from home. For this one we are going with a both teams NOT to score option at 4/7 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on September 17th, 2018 at 11:22 pm).

There is good reason for that, name Bolton’s decline in form and Middlesbrough’s great defence. Bolton have no form going against Middlesbrough to speak of either so it’s hard to see them pull off a shock win in midweek. We are looking at under 1.5 goals for the game at 9/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on September 17th, 2018 at 11:22 pm) in our Middlesbrough v Bolton predictions.

Last season Middlesbrough won both meetings against the Trotters and that moved them onto a big six-match winning streak over Bolton. Four of those six were with a clean sheet as well.
