Middlesbrough vs Norwich is a Championship clash at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon (3:00pm UK kick-off), with the hosts fancied.

Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Championship clash below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson is with Boro at home, and a card for Cordoba.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Middlesbrough to win10/11Boro have been excellent at the Riverside, sitting sixth with three wins and a strong home record, scoring eight goals while conceding just five across their opening games. Norwich have been wildly inconsistent in ninth and leak goals badly, having already shipped nine. Backing the in-form, defensively sounder hosts to take all three points at even money looks a fair, sensible play against such generous visitors.
Jose Cordoba to be carded3/1Norwich’s centre-back is already on three yellow cards this season and now faces a physical, direct Middlesbrough front line on their own patch. Defenders under that kind of sustained pressure rack up bookings, and Cordoba’s early-season disciplinary record marks him out as a prime candidate. At 3/1 for him to be carded, the data points squarely at one of the division’s more card-prone defenders.

How Middlesbrough go into the game

Middlesbrough won 1-0 at QPR last time out, a professional away win. The Riverside expects a promotion push.

Well-organised and dangerous, Boro will fancy their chances at home. Three points is the aim.

How Norwich go into the game

Norwich beat Birmingham 2-1 last time out, a welcome home win. They travel to Teesside in decent order.

Dangerous going forward, Norwich carry a threat but the Riverside is a tough trip. A point would be welcome.
