Under 2.5 Goals Is The Best Boro Market
The Teessiders have the best defence in their division and shouldn't fear the Etihad.
Manchester City have probably done enough to be discounted as a likely victim of a giant killing this weekend even if Middlesbrough entice a little at 11/1 (Bet365).
Instead we should anticipate a hard-fought victory for the Premier League champions and a match with under 2.5 goals in it at a best price of 6/4 with Paddy Power.
Aitor Karanka has done a wonderful job at the Riverside Stadium with his side now genuine automatic promotion contenders in the Championship. That platform has been built on the best defence in the division which has kept 13 clean sheets in 27 outings and only conceded more than once on three occasions.
Indeed, before Boro conceded a late consolation goal to Cardiff in midweek, they were on the cusp on a sixth consecutive clean sheet.
