Don't expect Friday night fireworks at the Riverside

By
Middlesbrough v Hull
Friday, 19:45
Live on Sky Sports 1
Match Odds
Boro are still fancied by the market at 2.52 with the visitors 3.25, fractionally longer than the draw at 3.15. In fairness, Boro's home form is still strong, that trio of recent defeats all came on the road (although all three were at sides in the bottom third of the table) and Karanka's men have won their last two outings at the Riverside - they're 12-3-2 in all this season.
Over/Under 2.5 goals
Given the way Hull's recent games have gone it's no surprise to see unders trading as short as 1.51 in this one, with overs 2.92. Each of the visitors' last nine league games has gone under the 2.5 line and those nine matches have featured just 10 goals in all. The Tigers have conceded just 21 goals this season (the best defensive record in the Championship), while their opponents here have the next best return with only 23 let in.
Half Time Score
At better than even money I like the 0-0 scoreline at the interval and the best way to get this price is to back under 0.5 goals with the Sportsbook at 2.38.
Recommended Bets
Back under 0.5 first-half goals at 2.38 with Betfair Sportsbook
Back the draw at 3.15

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

By
It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...

Biggest ever UEFA international qualifying scorelines in history

By
In light of UEFA footballing minnows Andorra, Gibraltar, Malta and San Marino all taking on much higher-ranked opponents Portugal, Belgium, England and Northern Ireland respectively this international break, that got Coral writers thinking. Goals galore are expected in each of those fixtures, so we find out some of the biggest scorelines in the history of World Cup and Euro qualifying from European nations. England 8-0 Turkey (1987) We start off with England and, although their 8-0 win is not the biggest scoreline on the list, it was against one of the most high profile – Turkey. Ahead of Euro 1988, the Three Lions battered the Turkish outfit, thanks to a hat-trick from Gary Lineker and a brace from John Barnes, while Bryan Robson, Peter Beardsley and Neil Webb also chipped in. Spain 8-0 Liechtenstein (2016) Most recently, Spain hammered tiny territory Liechtenstein 8-0 too this current World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign, thanks to braces from Diego Costa, David S...
