Aston Villa vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting tips
The last official confrontation between these two teams dates back to May 2009. At the time, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough still performed at the highest level in England. Now the teams meet each other in the Championship. Who wins with it?
Aston Villa :
Aston Villa was named as one of the biggest contenders on promotion to the Premier League this year. However, after six rounds of play, The Villans has not shown (yet) that this designation is true. In the first six games, only six shame points have been hacked by the Birmingham club. Although there is no lost since August 15th, there was a lost visit at Reading, Villa currently owns the disappointing eighteenth place. In the last two games against Bristol City and Brentford FC, Aston Villa did not seem to be ready for the Premier League. Even with Premier League-like players like Robert Snodgrass (although he did not show this at West Ham) and John Terry, Villa could not make a fist in the match against Brentford.
It is clear that in the match against The Bees Sam Johnstone, 24-year-old goalkeeper from Manchester United’s training, took the lead. With some spectacular rescue he held his team down. With one shot at goal, Villa attackers Hogan, Agbonlahor and previously mentioned Snodgrass did not really actively see this match. Steve Bruce was totally unhappy after the match. He labeled this contest as perhaps the worst since his appointment nine months ago. It should be better in Birmingham, that’s for sure.
Middlesbrough:
Where Aston Villa has to go all the sails already in order to keep the Premier League in view, Middlesbrough has hit it a lot more favorably. Although the last degradant currently holds sixth place, the backlog of respectively six and four points on the numbers one and two is still relatively easy to catch. Boro will definitely want to push to the direct promotion spots and looking at the quality within the team, it also seems to me that will happen.
Last Saturday against Bolton Wanderers, Garry Monk’s men once again showed that the strongest selection of the competition is taking place in Middlesbrough. With former Vitesse hired Lewis Baker in the base, Boro began to be strong at Bolton. Within the quarter, Top Asset Balboa (17 million pounds) awarded awards of Adama TraorĂ©, Barcelona’s former player, who has played at Aston Villa. Although Middlesbrough controlled the entire game, it took up to seventy minutes before we could see a goal again. Again, Assombalonga, who indicated to TraorĂ©, just found it. The final agreement was for invader and also debutant Marvin Johnson. The Englishman scored the final score of 0-3 on the board. Very striking is that this is Boro’s first outing since August 2016 (!). At that time Sunderland was defeated in the Premier League.
