[Football- England 'Championship'] 11.11/ 16:00 Middlesbrough- Leicester
There are many interesting matches tomorrow, involving Girona, Stuttgart, Tottenham, and Newcastle, teams I would normally recommend betting on. However, I believe this bet is safer (excluding Newcastle) and offers the same and better odds.
I've analyzed Leicester before, and although that bet was lost, I still think Leicester is one of the most profitable teams this season. If you want to see the complete analysis on Leicester, here's the link to my previous post: Leicester Analysis
To summarize the key points, Leicester is currently at the top of the table, with 13 wins and 2 losses in 15 matches. They have a goal difference of 20, being the best away team with victories in all away matches so far. Leicester boasts the second-best offensive and the best defensive record, scoring 29 goals and conceding 9. The losses were against Hull City and Leeds United, placed ninth and third in the table, respectively, both matches ending 0-1. Furthermore, Leicester has never conceded more than one goal per game.
Now, regarding Middlesbrough, they sit in twelfth place, having won 6, drawn 3, and lost 6. They have a goal difference of -1, scoring 22 goals and conceding 23. They are one of the weaker teams playing at home, winning 3, drawing one, and losing 3 out of 7 home matches, ranking 18th in this aspect among 24 Championship teams.
However, this bet comes with its risks, as Middlesbrough won 6 of their last 8 matches but stumbled in the last 2, losing the previous game and drawing the one before. Additionally, Leicester has recently shown a lack of depth, notably against Leeds, dominating possession but failing to generate significant danger. However, credit must be given to Leeds rather than solely blaming Leicester.
We can also mention that this is a match between emerging coaches, with Enzo Maresca and Michael Carrick on the sidelines, where Maresca has had a better track record so far and appears to be a more promising coach.
Finally, comparing the squads of both teams, it's evident that Leicester is significantly superior, with several players who have experience in the Premier League. In contrast, Middlesbrough's key players have not played in the Premier League, except for Jonathan Howson, who is 35 years old.
In summary, Leicester has better statistics, is the best away team, has a better squad, and a better coach (in my opinion), facing Middlesbrough with mediocre home results. While I acknowledge the risks, I believe the odds are worth it.
