Football Bet of the Day: Halloween horror show for Championship defences

Hull v Middlesbrough
Tuesday 19:45

A worldy Monday night in Turkey just gone, as Fenerbahce drew 3-3 with Kayserispor and sailed over the goals barrier.

We've sailed into the 2017 European City of Culture today, for what we hope will be an expo of attacking football laid on by Hull City and Middlesbrough.

Hull's KCOM Stadium has seen more goals than any other Championship ground this season - and by a distance. Leonid Slutsky's men have served up 31 across their first seven games, notching no fewer than 20 themselves. Individually, six of those seven matches have gone Over 2.5 Goals.

In the Premier League last season, this fixture finished 4-2 to the hosts. At an odds-against price, we're backing another high-scorer this evening.

Garry Monk's Middlesbrough have visited five teams from outside the league's current top 10 (Hull are 17th). All five games have produced at least two goals, and three have gone Over 2.5 Goals. Boro themselves have scored twice on each of their last two road assignments and, with a boost from their free-scoring hosts, we fancy they can get this one over the line too.
