Premiership - Derby vs Middlesbrough Football betting preview

Boro forced Arsenal to kneel in front of Riverside in a spirited performance from Gareth Southgate's boys. Alliadere and Tuncay were constantly asking questions and they got their reward eventually. I loved the dedication Wheater showed and his fully-committed tackles. But as it usually happens in these situations when you are a small team and win big, expectations rise. Not only in the fans ranks but in the players minds too. Boro now have to go at Derby and prove that they can live up to those expectations.

Derby are condemned anyway and this match will be definitely considered as a 6-pointer from Paul Jewell. Under his reign Derby were defeated twice however they scored in both games and guess what, they even scored for the first time away v United. This would be the inspiration for Derby, after all they have nothing to loose when everyone sees them as a Championship side. I am not arguing the fact though, that Boro will give everything in this match too.

I am slightly opposite with the AH line offered. I reckon level ball (DNB) was more appropriate for this fixture. Maybe until Saturday we will see somethin' changing..I am taking Derby with the draw as a value bet with good stakes as this is a really good chance for Rams to gain some hope again and at the same time Boro won't be disappointed at all with a draw.
