Middlesbrough Win or Draw and Under 3.5 goals
Middlesbrough have won five of their last ten matches making them 50% favorites to win this game. A draw has a 40% chance. The possibility for this game to produce under 3.5 goals is 77%.
Middlesbrough -1 Goal Handicap
In the last five meetings with Wigan, Middlesbrough covered this handicap three times. Moreover, Boro covered the 0 goal handicap five times in the previous ten league games.
Score During the Match 0-1
Despite their position in the league table, Wigan usually start their games very well. To point out, Wigan took a 1-0 lead in eight of their 11 away matches, which is 73%. Additionally, Wigan scored first in their last two h2hs with Boro.
Middlesbrough
With eight wins six draws and nine defeats, Middlesbrough picked up 30 points in 23 games and are currently in the 14th position. That is fewer by three points from last season at this stage as Boro are looking to push towards the top ten since they finished seventh last term.
Since the start of the season, Middlesbrough have picked up 1.30 points per game. However, manager Michael Carrick’s team improved in their last eight outings averaging 1.75 points per game.
Wigan
Wigan desperately need to win points as they sit in the 23rd place in the Championship table with 24 points. The Latics were crowned as champions of the EFL League One division last season but manager Kolo Toure’s men are finding life difficult in England’s second leveled division.
The Latics had a promising start to their season going unbeaten in four games (W1, D3). However, Wigan have won just one game in their previous ten fixtures with a five-match losing streak in the process.
If we look at the last ten rounds, it is obvious that Middlesbrough are in much better form. In addition, they haven’t lost to Wigan at home since 2006 and won the last three. Still, to be on the safe side we will back a combo bet of a home win or draw combined with under 3.5 goals.
Middlesbrough scored at least a goal in their last seven matches while Wigan have no clean sheets in their last ten outings. With odds of 1.28 at 1XBet, we predict Middlesbrough to score over one goal.
Boro’s Clarke and Bola are injured and won’t be back till January.
On Wigan’s side, Kerr, Pearce, and Nyambe will miss Monday’s game due to injuries.
