The visitors have failed to score in six of their last seven trips, while Boro have five 1-0 home wins this term. We’re backing another 1-0 victory for Boro here.
It will be strange going to Anfield as champions for our next home game, against Aston Villa on 5 July, and not seeing anyone.

To my friends they still see me as Luke, but to the year sevens (11- and 12-year-olds) I'm some sort of superstar. That's so weird to me because I was in their shoes, wearing that exact same uniform, taught by the same teachers, sitting in the same classrooms, writing with the same pens and pencils and now they're coming up to me with their planners for their homework asking me to sign stuff and I'm getting told off by my old head of year because I'm not allowed to.

Uganda Premier league match between Kampala City and Mbarara City, 16. Round,. Kampala is one of the best teams in Uganda and they are currently at second place and have 32 points 4 less than first placed Vipers, Kampala is a big favorite here of course but for me is better option to bet on goals, the main reason is because these two teams playing the most efficient football in the league, Kampala has the best attack in the league and 10 of their 15 matches finished with over 2.5 goals, on the other side 9 of 15 matches which played Mbarara finished with over 2.5 goals and for me this bet looks like pretty real option for high stake. Good luck!
