Middlesbrough started this season very poorly, the team has 9 points in the asset after eight rounds, and the difference between scored and conceded is 11:12. Moreover, the statistics on balls were even worse until recently, but in the last two home matches Middlesbrough managed to score 6 points.
Cardiff City have no better to do - 8 points after eight rounds, the statistics on goals are also negative - 4:8. In four away matches, the Welsh club was able to score only 2 goals.
Both teams are not in the best shape right now, Middlesbrough is nominally the favorite here, but the hosts have a terrible defensive game, so Cardiff, despite their weak performance, have every chance of scoring.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the "BTTS-Yes" bet, odds 1.87
