Manchester United vs. Middlesbrough Game Preview and Analysis
Betting on Manchester United
The 2015/2016 season has been great for Manchester United, as they have lost just once in their last eight games in all competitions. But their recent form has not been perfect, as they have drawn their last two games against CSKA Moscow and their neighbors Manchester City. In their Champions League tie against Moscow, they had to rally from behind in a desperate attempt to salvage a point. United went behind through a penalty after Anthony Martial handed the ball in the box, but the French striker made amends with a late equalizer in the second half. In the draw against City, United had the better chances, but could only manage one shot on target each in a 0-0 draw.
Betting on Boro
Middlesbrough has had an impressive run in the championship this season, sitting fourth on the table. In their last game, they had an impressive come-from-behind victory that was sealed by Stewart Downing‘s late free kick, earning Boro a 3-1 win against Wolverhampton.
