This season i'm going to try and keep a thread alive past November lol - and only on boro matches.
I want to see if i can actually predict my own team's games.
1 Bet per game - 1 unit stake (to win 1 unit or risk one unit)
First up:
Middlesbrough vs Pompey Over 2.5 Goals @ 11/10 1U
Middlesbrough don't have such a good record on the opening day - and while i feel we'll be unlucky just to draw this game, i see the over as the better value.
Because of our sluggish starts to the season, we are very open at the back and have a rich history of conceding on opening day.
Last year we went ahead early before slipping 3-1 to Ipswich. We have good attacking players but at the back we'll always offer easy chances. On top of that we're a Tony Mowbray side, and therefore will play open football - much more exciting than that ginger bastard last year.
