Middlesbrough- Alfie Jones
Middlesbrough have been box-office in the Championship so far, involved in a run of high-scoring games as they sit third in the table. They travel to a Birmingham City side looking to build on a win at Derby, with goals expected at St Andrew’s on Saturday.
Anthony Eadson’s Birmingham vs Middlesbrough predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson is with in-form Will Lankshear and expects goals on the agenda.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Will Lankshear to score anytime | 8/5 (bet365) | Will Lankshear has been Middlesbrough’s talisman, firing six goals in seven games for the promotion chasers and carrying their attack almost single-handedly at times. He arrives in genuinely box-office form to face a Birmingham side that has hit both teams to score in six of its seven games, so goals are firmly on the agenda. Boro’s in-form spearhead getting on the scoresheet in a match that looks set up for an open, attacking affair is the prime player selection, and odds against a red-hot striker scoring is worth backing. |
| Carlos Vicente to score anytime | 7/2 (bet365) | For a bigger price, Birmingham’s creative spark is fancied to get on the scoresheet. Carlos Vicente already has two goals to his name and is the hosts’ main attacking outlet, and with Birmingham having hit both teams to score in six of seven, they will carry a threat even against the box-office visitors. In a game expected to feature goals at both ends, backing Vicente in the anytime market at 7/2 offers real value on a player who is central to everything good going forward for his side. |
