Where to watch Middlesbrough vs Chelsea?

Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final match will offer a confrontation between two teams with different ambitions and from different leagues. Current form and quality plays clearly for the visitors, who have won the past three matches. Hosted at the Riverside Stadium, the match will be played on 9 January at 21:00.

Middlesbrough show the strength of their defence

Although Middlesbrough have lost four of their last five games at home through all competitions, it was an even match against Aston Villa on Saturday. A very good performance defensively, only decided by a late goal.

Chelsea were also lucky

All three of the Blues’ recent triumphs have been fortunate in some respect. Against Crystal Palace a late goal at 2-1 from a penalty, with Luton a scare until the last minute at 3-2, Preston were better in the FA Cup for the first half hour.

Middlesbrough vs Chelsea odds

Betting tip – At most one goal will be scored in the first half

Considering the fresh experience of Middlesbrough, who didn’t let Aston Villa put them under much pressure in the first half, I think that a maximum of one goal will fall this time as well. Overall, we can’t expect any offensive tactics as the semi-final is played over two games and the rematch is scheduled for a week later. For the riskier ones, I recommend a tip for a draw at halftime and a Blues win at the end. Chelsea’s last three games have been decided in the second half.
