Our prediction is: Middlesbrough win or draw

Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking Middlesbrough or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.

Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see Middlesbrough not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Leicester to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.

Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

Based on our analysis, Middlesbrough vs Leicester looks like going to fall safely under 2.5 goals.
