Newcastle United vs Middlesbrough

Free

This could conceivably be the worst game of the season so far in the English Premier League. I’ve never yet come across two such lifeless sides with so little attacking threat. Both of these sides are on horrendous runs and yet both really need the three points from this game as they desperately try to scramble away from the relegation zone. The only scoreline I can call for this ultimately decisive encounter is a 0-0 result that benefits nobody. The last four encounters between Newcastle United and Middlesbrough have ended in draws and I fail to see a different result emerging here. The safest bet I can offer you is that the goals are under 2.5 as both sides are frankly inept when it comes to goalscoring. I wouldn’t be surprised to see both sides relegated from the English Premier League and after their torrid season, I can only say that they deserve it.

Monday’s Picks

My tips:

There are three trebles that catch my eye today, even though it appears to be a day for draws! They are listed below in order of likelihood:

Lens, Rubin Kazan, Hapoel Tel-Aviv
Spartak Moscow, Braga, Helsingborgs
KamAZ Nab Chelny, Alaniya Vladikavkaz, HJK Helsinki

Risky bet of the day involves Kalmar, Baltika Kaliningrad, and Shinnik Yaroslavl’ – all of these sides should win so are worthwhile for a small punt!
