Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson favours Middlesbrough, who arrive in form after a statement win.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Middlesbrough to Win29/20 with CoralMiddlesbrough have made the stronger start, winning two of their opening three Championship games and scoring six goals. Burnley, meanwhile, have taken just one point and conceded nine times.
Boro arrive after beating West Brom 3-1 and look the more convincing side heading to Turf Moor. At 29/20, the visitors are worth backing to claim another three points.
Marcus Edwards 1+ shot on target6/5 with Virgin BetMarcus Edwards is expected to provide much of Burnley’s attacking threat and should have opportunities to test Middlesbrough’s defence. Burnley have struggled for results but have still scored in each of their three Championship games.
With Edwards operating in an advanced role and Burnley likely to need him to create chances, backing the winger to register at least one shot on target looks a sensible player prop.

How Burnley go into the game

Burnley were hammered 4-1 at Norwich at the weekend, a second heavy defeat that piles on early pressure. Turf Moor will demand a response.

Fresh from the Premier League, Burnley have the squad to challenge but look shaky. Home form must underpin any push.

How Middlesbrough go into the game

Middlesbrough beat West Brom 3-1 at the weekend, a statement win from the top-eight hopefuls. Confidence will be high.

Boro have the squad to chase automatic promotion and now have momentum. Backing that up on the road is the aim.
