Championship Play-Off sponsors Sky Bet look ahead to the clash between Brentford and Middlesbrough at Griffin Park
Brentford kicked-off in seventh place on the final day of the Sky Bet Championship campaign but their remarkable season took another positive twist as they thrashed Wigan Athletic 3-0, while results elsewhere also played into their hands.
This will be Brentford Manager Mark Warburton’s last home game but he’s determined to give the Club every chance of achieving top-flight football and the Bees are 13/8 to claim a first-leg advantage against Middlesbrough.
Fourth-placed Boro picked up 1-0 and 4-0 victories over Brentford in the regular season and hopes will be high on Teesside that they can justify odds of 17/10 and emerge on top again, or at least record a draw (9/4) to take back to the Riverside.
Another win to nil for Aitor Karanka’s men is priced at 7/2.
The away side’s Patrick Bamford registered a total of 17 league goals and he’s 5/1 to score first at Griffin Park, with 16-goal Andre Gray considered most likely to open the scoring for Brentford (6/1).
Boro are second favourites for promotion and can be backed at 25/1 in a treble with Preston and Southend to achieve that goal.
Under 1.5 goals at 2/1.
