It's a huge game from England tonight as Brentford visit Middlesbrough with both sides dreaming of a £150 million Premier League shoot-off at Wembley later this month in the Championship play-off final. Brentford have it all to do having lost the first leg 2.1 and with the away side needing the win here it should be a real cup tie atmosphere at the Riverside tonight. Here's my preview for the big game. 20.45 - Live on Sky- Middlebrough V Brentford - Prediction 2.1- Best Bet - BTTS @8/11, Boro to win in 90 minutes @19/20
Brentford travel to the Riverside knowing that they have to win to keep alive their promotion hopes and while I'm not convinced they will get the win they need, I do think they can trouble the hosts and I expect them to score at least once in this fixture. Play -off games in this division are usually high scoring, exciting affairs and with Brentford being such a good attacking side, I expect to see some real drama tonight with everything still to play for. Boro are so strong at home though, winning 11 of their last 12 and with only 4 of their last 10 home games resulting in BTTS, it's hard to make a big case for that outcome here but the play-offs are a different kettle of fish and I expect a really hard fought encounter tonight with chances at both ends. Brentford have scored in 14 out of their previous 17 away games in the Championship and certainly know their way to goal and with so much to play for and so little to lose, I expect the visitors to really go for it tonight and they should be able to score given their excellent record of scoring away from home. Boro should have enough to win the tie, and perhaps the on night too but tension will play a surely play a big part and with all the pressure on the hosts, this fixture might not be so straight-forward for the Boro. I fancy Brentford to keep themselves in the game by scoring but my final expectation is that The Boro will have just that little bit of extra quality and should squeeze through, perhaps by the same scoreline as last week. With only 1 fixture tonight, I will take a chance on BTTS and Over 2.5 goals as my 1 single for the day.
