The Underdogs Look Value for This Fixture

We’re playing Plymouth +1.5 on the Asian Handicap for their contest against Middlesbrough. We like the odds of -119 considering we can land a return from this wager even if the away team lose by a single goal.

3-3 Draw When Teams Last Clashed

Middlesbrough have suffered defeat in their last two games. Most recently, a 1-0 scoreline occurred on the road at The Den against Millwall. The Boro had four shots on target and boasted 60% possession.

Plymouth Argyle won their previous game which was at home. It was a 2-1 victory against Sheffield United at Home Park. Miron Muslic's team recorded just 30% possession and had three shots on goal, while Ryan Hardie and Muhamed Tijani were on the scoresheet.

Plymouth have gone unbeaten in their past three games against Middlesbrough, with the last encounter ending 3-3 at Home Park. The past 3 H2H matches have involved two draws and one Plymouth win.
