Middlesbrough vs Aston Villa Predictions & Betting Tips

Aston Villa have been fantastic this season at Villa Park, but their away record of four wins, two draws, and four losses isn't as impressive. They've kept just one clean sheet away from home in the league and two in all competitions in 14 games. Boro have found the net in eight of their last ten home games and have had impressive home wins over league leaders Leicester, third-place Southampton, and fifth-place West Brom. Boro are also susceptible at the back having conceded in eight of their 13 home games. With two fragile defences, both teams to score is my main position on the game.

It's surprising to see Boro as such a big home underdog, and it's worth having a small bet on them to pull the upset. Aston Villa have lost in the FA Cup third round seven times in a row. They were knocked out by League Two Stevenage last year, who won 2-1 at Villa Park.
