Best Tip: M'Boro to win

This one could be one way traffic and, unfortunately for the hosts, that way is M'Boro's. We predict Wednesday's visitors to Hillsborough will have too much for their hosts, and there's plenty of evidence to support that view in the sides' recent form stats, head-to-head (H2H) records and the odds from bookies too. They've made an away win in the win / draw / win market the most likely result, and are willing to give a best price of 1.80.
