Middlesbrough vs Sunderland: Under 2.5

Key Points

This football betting tip comes from the FA Cup 4th Round replay and the match between Middlesbrough and Sunderland.
I backed this same market in Middlesbrough's Championship match at the weekend against Palace and the game ended 0-0.
That means that 13 of the last 14 matches at the Riverside have featured under 2.5 goals.
Middlesbrough just can't seem to score enough goals at the moment with 7 in their last 9 matches.
Their cause won't be helped by the fact top scorer Scott McDonald is out injured. He could be joined by Marvin Emnes who is doubtful for tonight's game. Between them they have scored 16 goals this season for Boro.
Martin O'Neill has done a great job in his short time at Sunderland and the first thing he has sorted out is the defence.
Sunderland look very solid at the back and have conceded just 1 goal in their last 4 matches.
That came from a wonder strike from Barry Robson in the first game between these two teams. Robson is another injury doubt for Boro.
5 of the last 6 matches for Sunderland have all featured under 2.5 goals.
With no Bendtner up front up and the creative Vaughan missing from the heart of midfield Sunderland could struggle to break down Boro.
