👉 Our prediction is: Middlesbrough to win the 1st half

Middlesbrough will head in to face Southampton with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping Middlesbrough to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Southampton, at least until half-time.

👉 Our prediction is: Draw

Southampton will have the home advantage in this match, and with the quality of their players to the strength of their performances, they will have the upper hand. But even with all that said, our betting tip is to go for a draw in Southampton vs Middlesbrough.

We just see some flaws that Middlesbrough can exploit in order to hold the home side to a draw. And with odds of 2.77, the potential payout for a draw is well worth a shot.
