Middlesbrough vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips (22 April)

Carried by Akpom last year now at Ajax, Middlesbrough had participated in the playoffs for accession to the PL but this season, the situation is very different and it would take a combination of circumstances to see Boro play the postseason. Indeed, even a draw this evening would mean elimination with too much delay. Furthermore, we cannot say that the locals have had a string of successes recently, notably with two draws on the pitch at Hull City 2-2 and on the pitch at Ipswich last weekend 1-1. As a consolation prize, we can add that they have been undefeated for nine days and a record of five wins for four draws. Relegated last year from the Premier League, Leeds hopes to return to the sender without going through the playoffs. .

3rd at the start of the day, the Peacoks were only two lengths behind the leader and promoted Ipswich. Clearly, the title race promises to be crazy for the last 3 days. In case things go badly for Marcelo Bielsa's former club, he will play in the playoffs but that is the trap he would like to avoid. However, we have to say that the last three matches have been great disappointments with two defeats at Coventry 2-1 and against Blackburn at home on the last day 0-1. There is also a parity score for the coming of Sunderland 0-0.

Carrick's men (Manchester United legend) are infected with injuries and the infirmary is full. No less than eight players did not play against Ipswich last weekend including the Finnish Forss (7 goals, 2 assists), the English Coburn (5 goals this season), Fry (1 assist in 28 appearances) , the young Hackney midfielder (1 goal in 21 Championship caps this season) and Tom Smith (on the flank for months). Let's not forget to mention Lenihan (long injured), Australian international McGree (4 goals) and McNair (21 appearances this season) who are also out this evening. In terms of good news, Ivorian striker Latte Lath (12 points in the league) and Irish international Azaz (10 goals, 7 assists this season / 7 points, 5 caviars with Plymouth in the first part of the season) will be there to defend their team's last chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

On the Leeds side, Struijk and Gyabi will probably be out (injuries) while Dallas announced at the beginning of April the end of his professional career (injured for more than 2 years). An extremely competitive group will therefore be deployed to right the ship's helm among the Peacoks, notably including the Dutchman Summerville (17 goals, 8 assists) and the Welsh winger passed by Man United Daniel James (13 goals, 7 assists).
