Blackburn Rovers will be looking to keep their hopes of a return to the Premier League next season alive when they host Middlesbrough on Thursday night. The two sides go into the game on the back of contrasting results, with the visitors winning 4-1 against Wigan Athletic, while the hosts lost 2-1.

Although Blackburn Rovers won all the games scheduled for the World Cup break without conceding a goal, they have been terrible defensively since the return to action. In the four games they have played so far, they have conceded a total of ten goals, the same number they conceded in eleven games before the break. However, the fact that they have only conceded two goals in their last five games against Middlesbrough might just give them the boost they need to keep their defence together.

Following criticism of their away record last season, Middlesbrough, meanwhile, have improved significantly away from home this season. Heading into this game with three wins from their last four away games, they will have in the back of their minds that they have a chance to take something from this game, although their record against the hosts is not that good.

Blackburn Rovers vs Middlesbrough Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

Although at least three goals have been scored in each of the visitors' last three games, we expect Thursday's match to be a close affair due to the nature of the encounters between these two teams.

Eight of the last nine encounters between these two teams have seen less than 2.5 goals scored, so a bet on this option for Thursday's match could be the best selection.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Blackburn Rovers vs Middlesbrough prediction: 0-0

布莱克本流浪者将在周四晚上主场迎战米德尔斯堡，他们将继续保持下赛季重返英超的希望。双方以截然不同的结果进入比赛，客队4-1战胜维冈竞技，而主队2-1失利。

虽然布莱克本在世界杯期间的所有比赛中都取得了全胜，没有丢球，但自从他们复出后，他们的防守一直很糟糕。在迄今为止的四场比赛中，他们总共丢了10个球，这与他们在中场休息前的11场比赛中丢的球数相同。然而，他们在最近五场对阵米德尔斯堡的比赛中只丢了两个球，这可能会给他们提供加强防线的动力。

继上赛季客场战绩受到批评后，米德尔斯堡本赛季在客场取得了显著进步。他们在过去的四场客场比赛中取得了三场胜利，在他们的脑海中，他们有机会从这场比赛中获得一些东西，尽管他们对东道主的记录不是那么好。

布莱克本流浪者vs米德尔斯堡投注提示:少于2.5球

尽管客队在最近三场比赛中每场都至少打入3球，但鉴于两队的交锋性质，我们预计周四的比赛将是势均力敌。

在这两支球队最近9次交锋中，有8次的进球数低于2.5球，所以押注周四的比赛可能是最好的选择。

最佳建议:低于2.5个目标
布莱克本流浪者vs米德尔斯堡预测:0-0
