Bet Of The Day April 19

Andrew Hendrie: Apr 19, 2023

The English Championship match between Middlesbrough and Hull features as Bettingpro.com.au’s best bet for Wednesday April 19.

Bet Of The Day April 19 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Middlesbrough have won seven of their last nine home games
Five of those seven wins have been to nil
Hull have just two away wins vs Middlesbrough in 14 meetings dating back to 1989
Hull are winless in their last eight road games
Hull have failed to score in four of their last five away defeats
Hull can’t be relegated or promoted; motivation levels could be low

We’re off to the English Championship for today’s best bet as Middlesbrough look to keep their momentum heading into the playoffs when they host Hull.

Middlesbrough look set to feature in the promotion playoffs, coming into this clash eight points clear of seventh-placed Blackburn.

Michael Carrick’s side head into this fixture on the back of a thumping 5-1 victory over Norwich last week. Middlesbrough have now scored 60 goals since Carrick’s appointment back in October, which is the best in the league in that period (11 more than promoted Burnley).

Middlesbrough have been excellent at home in recent times, winning seven of their last nine games at Riverside Stadium.

With this in mind, we’re going to back the hosts to prevail again, while for some added value, we’re also backing Middlesbrough to win to nil.

Five of Middlesbrough’s last seven home victories have been accompanied by a clean sheet, while six of their last seven home wins over Hull have also been to nil.

Hull have only beaten Middlesbrough twice at Riverside Stadium in 14 meetings dating back to 1989. Hull are also winless in their last eight league games on the road, failing to score in their last such fixture (0-0 draw with Blackburn).

Hull have failed to score in four of their last five defeats on the road, so given their poor away record against Middlesbrough and the fact they are safe from relegation and can’t be promoted, we’re backing the hosts for a shut-out victory here.
