Middlesbrough may be 4th placed in the Championship, but they’ve hit a poor patch. The club has lost three, drawn one and lost one of its last five matches, including three heavy defeats.

The Middlesbrough strikers have scored just 3 goals in five matches, meanwhile some atrocious defending has allowed in 9 goals during this time.

Sunderland vs. Middlesbrough Betting Tips

Middlesbrough may be in for a hiding in this match. They don’t look to have the form up front to crack a tough Sunderland defence that has withstood some of the finest attacks in the Premiership in recent weeks. Further, their own frail defensive net will be cut apart by the in-form Sunderland forwards.

The easy bet for this match is a simple low-return back bet on Sunderland. Our Sunderland vs Middlesbourgh betting tip, however, is to go with over 2.75 goals being scored in this match at Bet365.
