EPL 22 & 23 Dec

Middlesbrough v West Ham

After taking a double hammering from Everton, West Ham will want to get themselves back on track, and where better to do it than away from home at the Riverside. West Ham have had much better away than home form this season, winning twice as many games on the road than they have won at Upton Park.

Middlesbrough meanwhile have striker Sanli Tuncay on great form but are without Stuart Downing and Gary O’Neil, leaving a seriously depleted midfield. I believe that this will force Middlesbrough into playing a defensive role and West Ham should be able to put the pressure on Borough by breaking down their midfield.

Have a one point bet on West Ham (level) at 2.4.


[West Ham won 2-1]

Other than this I'm afraid that I can't really see too much betting.
