PP football tipster Andrew Cunneen<\/a> has dived into the stats and found some high-value bets for Swansea v Middlesbrough<\/a>, which combine into a Bet Builder that\u2019s tastier than any chocolate you\u2019ve been having your way with over the last few days. Andrew\u2019s got a player pick in here, too, and it\u2019s covered by Paddy\u2019s Super Sub offer<\/a>, meaning if he\u2019s substituted, the pick will carry over to his replacement.<\/p>\n Swansea v Middlesbrough Bet Builder tips<\/p>\n Swansea and draw A Bet Builder with these bets pays at approximately\u00a018\/1\u00a0with Paddy Power.\u00a0CLICK HERE TO ADD IT TO YOUR BETSLIP<\/a>.<\/p>\n *All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change<\/p>\n WHEN: Monday, April 6th, 5.30pm Swansea and draw<\/p>\n The stage is set for this to be a home team taking advantage of a completely desperate visitor who knows they have to win, or their season, which has been derailing for some time now, is finally in freefall. Boro would have been heavy favourites to finish in the top two in early February \u2013 but just two wins in their last nine games, including one against Millwall, who have just leapfrogged them, have them on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n Swansea have hardly been in flying form themselves lately, and their long-shot hopes of a top-six finish are now also gone. But the key indicator for Swansea is home versus away. Since December, the Swans have played 11 home games. They\u2019ve won eight of those, and only lost once \u2013 to high-flying Ipswich. This is quite the price you\u2019re getting when you weigh it all up.<\/p>\n Under 2.5 Goals<\/p>\n Boro have gone four games in a row without scoring twice or more. That would have been unthinkable earlier in the season, when they had goals coming from all over the park, making it far less of a big deal for one or two players to fall out of form.<\/p>\n David Strelec, Riley McGree, Hayden Hackney, Tommy Conway, and Morgan Whittaker, Alan Browne, and Matt Targett all have 4+ goals in the Championship alone this year. But Hackney and Whittaker will miss this fixture, and Matt Targett went off injured, too. Their outlets are becoming thinner as the weeks go by.<\/p>\n Middlesbrough Over 6.5 corners<\/p>\n When desperation hits, particularly given how I believe this game will go, there\u2019ll be some degree of an onslaught in the second half. Boro have had over 250 corners this year, which makes sense given they lead the league in possession and touches in the opposition box. Given the situation, seeing them exceed the average of just over six a game is a live possibility. By contrast, Swansea have conceded over 200 themselves \u2013 one of only ten teams to have done so.<\/p>\n Luke Ayling to commit 2+ fouls<\/p>\n Matt Targett took a knock against Millwall and will now likely miss Monday\u2019s trip to Wales. Even if the knock wasn\u2019t serious, the turnaround time and the most chocolate-filled weekend of the year are surely negatives.<\/p>\n But before you shout at me and tell me they play on opposite flanks, I know. But with Targett out, the emphasis on Callum Brittain to get forward will be doubled now, leaving Ayling slightly exposed. And as Swansea\u2019s forward line is incredibly direct when they win possession high up the pitch, I can see Ayling taking his shots in order to preserve hope of a much-needed victory to keep the pressure on Millwall and Ipswich.<\/p>\n Swansea v Middlesbrough tips<\/p>\n Swansea and draw A Bet Builder with these bets pays at approximately\u00a018\/1\u00a0with Paddy Power.\u00a0CLICK HERE TO ADD IT TO YOUR BETSLIP<\/a>.<\/p>\n *All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/p>\n Tap here for PP.com\u2019s latest football odds<\/a><\/p>\n The Paddy Power Guide To Safer Gambling \u2013 Everything You Need To Know<\/a><\/p>\n
