Burnley vs Middlesbrough Tips

Tip 1

24 year old Finn Azaz has had 51 shots so far this term, with 21 of those hitting the target which are both impressive feats.

He’s met this particular line in 12 out of 17 league outings, immediately highlighting value in the 17/20 price.

Having managed at least one shot on target in five of his last six, it’s well worth getting him onside for this bet on Friday.

Tip 2

Azaz netted his sixth league goal of the season last weekend alongside the seven assists he’s produced across 17 matches.

That strike was his fifth in the last three matches, placing him on a hot streak right now.

With the second most shots and shots on target in the entire division, there’s every reason to believe the Irish midfielder can continue to be in the goals at a potentially massive price.

Burnley Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Clarets sit second in the division, extending their winning streak to four with a 2-0 win over Stoke last Saturday – their fifth consecutive clean sheet.

Scott Parker’s side will not be able to lean on Manuel Benson, Aaron Ramsey or Lyle Foster, who are all still recovering from injuries.

Burnley Predicted XI: Trafford; Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Pires; Cullen, Laurent; Anthony, Sarmiento, Koleosho; Rodriguez.

Middlesbrough Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Boro bounced back from the 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers by dispatching Hull City 3-1 at the Riverside last weekend.

The visitors remain without the ability to call upon Tommy Smith, Alex Bangura or Darragh Lenihan due to injury.

Middlesbrough Predicted XI: Brynn; Ayling, Edmundson, Clarke, Borges; Barlaser, Hackney; Doak, Azaz, Burgzorg; Conway.
