Key Points

  • This football betting tip comes from the FA Cup 4th Round replay between Middlesbrough and Sunderland.
  • This really is an obvious bet and you only need to look at the form guides to see why Sunderland are worth betting on.
  • Sunderland sit top of the Premier League form guide whilst Middlesbrough are 23rd in the Championship form guide.
  • Sunderland have been superb since the arrival of manager Martin O'Neill with an 8-2-2 record.
  • He has sured up the defence with the Black Cats conceding just 3 goals in their last 8 matches.
  • O'Neill has given Irish winger McClean a chance and the youngster has shone since his introduction to the side.
  • Sessesgnon looks like a real find and provides Sunderland with real flair and creativity in the final third.
  • The return of Frazier Campbell has also come at the perfect time with Niklas Bendtner out injured.
  • Middlesbrough are going through their worst run of the season with just 1 win in their last 8 matches. That was a narrow 1-0 win over League Two Shrewsbury in the 3rd Round of the cup.
  • They simply are not scoring enough goals with just 6 in their last 8 matches and could find it tough to break down a solid Sunderland back line.
  • It took a wonder strike from Barry Robson in the first tie to get Middlesbrough on the score sheet and he could be out tonight with an injured hand.
  • Sunderland could also be missing both Emnes and Haroun who are doubts for this game. Definitely missing is top scorer Scott MacDonald.
  • You can almost rule out home advantage here as Middlesbrough have won just 6 times in 16 matches at the Riverside this season whilst Sunderland have won 4 of their last 5 away games.
  • You would be mad to bet against the Premier League's in form team and at odds of Evens I think there is plenty of value.
