Top three predictions on Middlesbrough vs Brighton & Hove Albion — FA Cup

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Brighton to win — 1.66

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.82

Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Both teams to score: YES — 1.83

Match outcome: Brighton to win

Brighton & Hove Albion bounced back to winning ways following a commanding 4-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park, days after their disappointing 4-2 home loss to Arsenal. Although they come up against an impressive Middlesbrough’s side under Michael Carrick, I still believe the Seagulls will advance through to the latter stage of the competition.

Total goals: Over 2.5

Both teams are good goalscoring sides. Middlesbrough’s last four matches ended with over 2.5 goals and Brighton’s last six matches across all competitions ended with over 2.5 goals. For this reason, both teams could get on the scoreboard at Riverside.

Both teams to score: YES

Middlesbrough are displaying their attacking prowess under Michael Carrick, having won its last three matches. Brighton are doing very well in the Premier League but are struggling to keep clean sheets. They failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two games, hence expecting them to repeat the same this weekend.

Preliminary Review & Match prediction for Middlesbrough vs Brighton & Hove Albion

Middlesbrough

The Boros have won their last three Championship game and are one of the favourites to return to the Premier League ahead of next season, thanks to their new manager Michael Carrick’s influence.

They occupy the 5th position in the Championship and have won four of their last five league matches.

Brighton & Hove Albion

The Seagulls returned to winning ways on Tuesday night with a thumping 4-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park. They have done well in the league this season but are struggling in cup games.

Brighton crashed out of the Carabao Cup after losing to Charlton Athletic on penalties but will look to correct their wrongs against Middlesbrough away from home again.

Middlesbrough vs Brighton prediction

Both teams are in better shape and are ready to get off the mark. Brighton have recorded some impressive wins over the top guns in recent weeks, hence backing them to go through to the next round of the FA Cup.

Get Rich Quick

Because stats show both teams are likely to get on the scoreboard and Brighton are the favourites to win, hence I am backing the visitors to concede at least a goal but still get the win.
