Bolton Wanderers Middlesbrough betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 8^th position of the league, with 58 points won, after 15 wins, 13 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Bristol City, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Swansea City, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Middlesbrough has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 6 losses in the last matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (9 out of 20 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 40 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Middlesbrough come to this game unmotivated after a 3-1 defeat at Swansea. The visitors usually play in a 5-2-3, where the three most advanced players are Downing, Hugill and Howson. The team's brain is the Englishman Clayton, the player responsible for defining and conducting the attacks of his team. When the visitors invest in the offensive process they usually do so through the right side aisle, taking advantage of the depth offered by Saville. Coach Tony Pulis should have all players available for this match.
