Back unders at St Andrew's

Birmingham v Middlesbrough
Friday, 19:45

Match Odds

Boro are just 1.57 to win this with the home side still available at a whopping 7.20, having been as big as 8.00 earlier in the week, and the draw priced at 4.20. As my colleague Mike Norman noted in his preview of last Saturday's 3pm games, at this stage of the season sides are often over-bet and consequently too short when it's deemed they 'need' to win a match. He was bang on the money about Boro and Hull against Ipswich and Leeds respectively and this game fits into that category for me too.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals

Unders is 1.85 here with Overs 2.12 and I'm surprised that we can get that big a price about Under 2.5 Goals. At this stage of the season I can't see it being anything other than a very tight game and under Rowett the Blues' have always been solid enough at the back, while they have only managed 50 goals this season - that's the same total as 20th-placed Bristol City and less than Rotherham to pick out just two examples.

Recommended Bets

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.85 *best bet

Champions League Tipsheet: Barca to come unstuck at San Siro

Inter are in the best form of the Luciano Spalletti era and can upset Barcelona at San Siro on Tuesday, says James Horncastle... Intergalactic Inter v Barcelona Tuesday, 20:00 Live on BT Sport/ESPN Inter could not go into Tuesday night's clash with Barcelona in better form. This weekend's 5-0 win against Genoa was their seventh in a row in the league and it built on the team's best performance of the season, a 3-0 dismantling of Lazio last Monday. Inter are hitting heights they have previously not reached in 18 months under Spalletti. The team is playing good football, boasts the best defence in Serie A and lost causes like Dalbert, Roberto Gagliardini and Joao Mario are suddenly contributing to decisive effect. Saturday's victory served to underline once again that Inter are no longer dependent on Mauro Icardi for goals . The Argentine was able to put his feet up and keep himself fresh for Barcelona without his absence impacting negatively on th...
