Bournemouth vs Middlesbrough: Will the visitors not lose and total under?

Bournemouth will face Middlesbrough at home. This encounter will be part of the 42nd round of the Champions League. Can the Cherries extend their winning streak at home against the Boro?

After beating Huddersfield Town (3:0) and Bristol City (3:2), Bournemouth failed to perform well in their next two games in the Championship. First, Scott Parker's side played poorly against West Bromwich Albion and suffered a 0:2 defeat. Next, the club failed to beat Sheffield United on the road, but this time they played in a draw (0:0). With 73 points, Bournemouth is second in the Championship table.

Middlesbrough has also disappointed their fans with their last two appearances in the tournament. Chris Wilder's side failed to score in their two home games against Fulham and Hull City. Both meetings saw the same 0:1 result. Because of the results of 40 matches, the club has 62 points. Middlesbrough is currently sitting in eighth place at the Championship table.

Bournemouth is the favourite for a second straight trip to the EPL, but Huddersfield Town and Nottingham Forest are breathing down their necks. Parker's club are expected to play reliably to earn another point in the tournament. However, it will not be a simple task, as Middlesbrough has been performing noticeably better away than at home. We expect Wilder's team to continue this trend and not lose to the Cherries.
