Middlesbrough host Aston Villa, in the 1st leg of the 2nd semi final, it’s easy to get the feeling that Tony Pulis’s Middlebrough are hitting form at just the right time after winning 3 of their last 4. We seen in the other semi final tonight how important being inform is, Derby who only in the last few games started to click beat Fulham a side who have lost some momentum recently as the game saw the more in form Derby get the victory 1-0.
Boro have quality up front and i don’t think we can say the same for Villa, Adomah has not scored in the past 2 months and Villa have had to rely on Grealish and Grabban of late. Boro look like a side with more goals in them with Traore, Bamford and Assombalonga all playing well of late and looking dangerous. Boro have only lost twice in 14 matches, Pulis has done and excellent side and they look a better side than Villa, I think Middlesborugh -0.25 @2.07 is very fair.
Bet: Middlesborugh -0.25 @2.07
