Birmingham v Middlesbrough Bet Builder @ 4.68

I think that the place to start with this bet is to address the fact that this is a huge match for both teams. For either team to drop points here could be devastating to their long-term goal of promotion. High-tension matches can sometimes produce more cards than those with little riding on them.

But there is also enough from the data for both teams, and the referee, to make this line of cards quite gettable.

Starting with the referee, Thomas Kirk. He is averaging over four yellow cards per match across his 16 Championship assignments this season so far, and in his 27 second-tier matches in his career, he is at 4.3 yellow cards given per match.

Birmingham home matches average 4.39 yellow cards in the league, with their opponents averaging well over two cards received.

Middlesbrough away matches average 4.35 yellow cards in the league, and again, they seem to encourage their opponents to get booked, with around 2.5 cards given to their hosts when they visit.

I am simultaneously surprised and pleased that we can get the over 8.5 corner line into the bet builder here.

Birmingham have gone corner crazy in their home matches recently. They won 11 against West Brom alone and 10 against Leicester, which obviously covers this line easily without any contribution from the visitors. They now average over seven corners won at home, and when combining visitor corners, the total average is just over 11.5.

Middlesbrough are also big corner winners. Even away from home, the Teessiders are averaging six corners per match.

Taking the averages across both teams would make 13 corners. We know that football matches don't work that way, of course, but there is a good chance that we will get over the 8.5 line.

The Australian is often trusted by Middlesbrough managers in the big games because of the tactical flexibility and reliability that he offers.

We are interested in his shooting ability, and there is reason to believe that he is being underrated by the layers here in this case.

McGree’s last two starts have seen him hit five shots, last time out against Leicester, and four shots, at league leaders Coventry. Even in between those matches, McGree managed two shots in a 30 minutes sub appearance against Oxford.

He is averaging 2.84 shots per 90. Six of his last seven starts have seen him beat this line.

This is priced up much higher than I think it should be.

Putting aside that Targett will be lining up at left-back, and we know that full-back is one of the most common positions for high foul counts, Targett’s own data and then the fouls drawn of his likely opponent make this a must bet within our bet builder.

Targett has been used in central defence for a good percentage of the campaign, and this has suppressed his foul numbers. This could be having some influence on the misprice because his last eight matches have seen him play LB, and he has committed 12 fouls in this period.

He committed four fouls against Leicester last time out and has committed at least one foul in six of the last eight matches at LB.

There is also the likelihood that he will face Patrick Roberts of Birmingham. Roberts is a regular foul drawer, 1.73 per 90 on average, and he has been fouled at least once in each of his last five starts. He is priced at 1.22 to be fouled in the match.
