Middlesbrough vs Sunderland PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 03/02/2025

Sparkles will be flying when Middlesbrough and Sunderland lock horns at Riverside Stadium in the Championship derby. The Boro aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Preston and a win over Sunderland will see them stay in the playoffs berth. As important first-team regular Emmanuel Latte Lath suffered an injury at the weekend, home win should not be considered. Finland international Marcus Forss is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.

The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the automatic promotion berth and given Latte Lath’s injury, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors, who dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Plymouth at the weekend. The likes of Ajibola Alese, Nial Huggins, Romaine Mundle, and Alan Browne are expected to miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
