Peter Green - April 13, 2022
Bournemouth vs Middlesbrough
England – Championship
Date: Friday, 15 April 2022
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth is having an impressive form since the beginning of this season. They have succeeded in recording enough of positive displays. As a result, they occupies the second spot of the table with a total of 73 points, 6 points away from the third spot occupier Nottingham Forest.
Despite of their overall form, Bournemouth have been dropping points in a couple of recent fixtures. They were last seen playing a disappointing goalless draw against Sheffield United on road in a Championship fixture. With taht draw, they are currently winless for two games in the league. They will be desperate to get back to the winning ways.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough are having a seesaw of form in the league lately. They have collected seven points from the past 5 league fixtures to add up to a total of 62 points on the table for occupying the 8th spot. They will be eyeing for a safe zone spot which is currently three points away from them.
Middlesbrough recorded back to back defeats in the league of late. They lost 0-1 to Hull city and 1-0 against Fulham, both at home in their most recent Championship fixtures. They will be hoping to better themselves from this slump.
We can see Bournemouth possessing an impressive form at home of late. They are unbeaten in each of their past 6 league fixtures at this venue. They scored two or more goals in 4 of those 6 unbeaten fixtures.
On the other side, Middlesbrough are winless in 4 of the past 6 league affairs on road. Three of those were negative displays with the defense leaking two or more goals.
Such a form will count much against this Bournemouth side who looks to have a strong form at home of late. Knowing that they have a 100% unbeaten record against Middlesbrough at this venue, we have enough reasons to back Bournemouth to seal a win.
