Middlesbrough to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe\u2019re backing Middlesbrough to win because they have conceded just 45 goals in 45 games (compared to Wrexham\u2019s 63), boast a far superior pass accuracy (84.6%) and more clean sheets. Wrexham\u2019s defensive vulnerabilities could be exposed by Boro\u2019s balanced attack and depth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here as Wrexham have scored 67 and conceded 63 in 45 matches, while Middlesbrough have netted 70.
