Middlesbrough vs Leeds United Prediction and Betting Tips (08.04.2025)

Command Analysis

Middlesbrough

England

Current form

Middlesbrough is in fifth place and is in the playoff zone, but the whole fight is still ahead. The team has several competitors at once - Bristol City, Coventry and West Brom, and all are within three points. It is worth noting that in the spring, Michael Carrick's wards act almost flawlessly. Six rounds have already passed since the beginning of March, in which the hosts have only one defeat - from the Welsh Swansea (0:1). Since then, they have managed to beat QPR (2:1), Oxford (2:1) and Blackburn (2:0), as well as draw with Luton (0:0).

Disqualifications and injuries

Bangura, Dieng, Doak, Edmundson, Fry and Lenihan are in the infirmary and will not be able to take the field. Borges' participation in the duel is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

The team has conceded only one goal in the last three matches.
The hosts have won their last three home matches

Approximate composition: Traverse - Dijkstel, Howson, Van den Berg, Ayling - Morris, Hackney - Burgtsorg, Iheanacho, Azaz - Conway

Leeds United

England

Current form

Leeds looked like the main contender for the championship at the beginning of the season, but recently the team has been blown away and risks missing a direct ticket to the Premier League for the second time in a row. The team currently occupies the third place, but continues to fight for a place in the top 2, which are currently occupied by Sheffield United and Burnley. Leeds is one point behind the second line, and two points behind the first. In the last three rounds, Daniel Farke's team lost points, failing to beat the clubs from the bottom of the standings, QPR (2:2), Swansea (2:2) and Luton (1:1).

Disqualifications and injuries

The only thing in question is the appearance of Pascal Strake on the field.

Interesting betting trends

The team has avoided defeats in the last four rounds.
The guests have won five of the last six face-to-face matches

Approximate composition: Darlow - Bogle, Rawdon, Weber, Firpo - Tanaka, Ampadu - James, Gnonto, Solomon - Piru

Tip and bets

2.1Middlesbrough won't lose

The bookmakers continue to believe in Leeds, despite the fact that the visitors have only failed in recent matches. It was not possible to beat even the contenders for survival, which put United's plans for direct promotion in jeopardy. Middlesbrough are much stronger than Leeds' previous opponents. and the hosts have no less motivation - in case of defeat, the Reds will surely lose their place in the playoffs. We think that Michael Carrick's guys will take advantage of the opponent's problems and be able to take at least one point in this match.

Our prediction is Middlesbrough won't lose in 2.10

Bet on the total

This match is extremely important for the rivals, because a possible promotion to the Premier League is at stake. The visitors remain the most productive team in the Championship and score an average of two goals per match. Leeds will probably bet on attacking now, but Middlesbrough will have something to respond to, especially at their home stadium. We think there will be a lot of goals scored here.

Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.83

Betting on corners

Most likely, both opponents will actively create chances at the other's goal, which will lead to a large number of corner kicks. We suggest betting more on total corners.

Our betting tip is a total of more than 10.5 corners in 2.03
