Expert Betting Tips

Stoke City returned to the winning battle in the Championship and, twice in a row, pleased the fans with positive performances. It will be challenging to win the third time or even score points since Stoke will visit one of the best teams in the league in the current season. Michael Carrick has seriously improved the quality of Middlesbrough's game. Unsurprisingly, the club has the second-best attack in the Championship (Burnley has the best goal score). Middlesbrough is now four points behind Sheffield United in the second-place battle. Carrick's team will try to win again and increase the pressure on their competitor for direct entry into the Premier League.
