Two of the form teams in the Championship go head-to-head in tonight's live match on Sky Sports as the race for the Premier League heats up.
Just nine points separate the seven teams tucked in behind league leaders Fulham and a win for either side would be a major boost to their promotion chances.
Middlesborough (9/5) are a team with some serious momentum at the moment. They've climbed from 20th to sixth since Chris Wilder was appointed manager in November having collected 20 points from their nine league games and are unbeaten in their last eight in all competitions (W7 D1).
Blackburn had been on a similar upward trajectory until their defeat at Hull last midweek. Prior to that they'd picked up 32 points from a possible 39 and have the chance to move in to second place this evening.
From a betting perspective it looks too close to call, in fact six of the last 10 meetings between the sides have been drawn. There's also been a noticeable lack of goals with just one of those 10 going Over 2.5 Goals. Of the four matches that have been won in that period all four have been a single goal and that could be the best route to take tonight.
A winning margin of one goal, by either side, pays 6/5 at McBookie.
Tunisia and Burkina Faso booked their place in the African Cup of Nations last eight and another four teams will be aiming to join them today. Tolu has previewed today's matches between Guinea and Gambia and hosts Cameroon and Comoros.

Darren Lenihan to be booked 6/4
Seems decent price for someone that gets booked regularly and has been booked a few times against Boro too….we shall see
🙂
Also a bit of a speculative one…
Jonny Hewson to be booked 11/4
Has 5 cards this season and is the Boro captain, small money but who knows

I feel any team at 3/1 to score a goal in 90mins in such a poor quality tournament has to be worth a few quid regardless of them playing the hosts, this is trading at 2/1 most other bookies.
Sammy
Comoros won’t play for a 0-0 and penalties as they have an outfield player in goal.
Can see them having to outscore Cameroon which should see an open game.
Could not agree more Elvis , shame about the red card otherwise was a good shout at 3s , you never know though still 45 left👍

Shakhtar rattle in 4 goals in last 13 minutes👍😎
Interest team news on the Comoros game later is that they will have an outfield player in goal as they are not allowed to draft another in under competition rules.
All their 3 keepers are out with covid.
Wow that’s a great heads up should be truck loads for Cameroon if they play half decent. Will tune in now😂👍

Good Evening Guys,
Tonight’s punt comes from Blackburn vs Middlesbrough
Paddypower rewards club power price
Blackburn to score and have 5 or more corners
@ 5/2 (boosted from 6/4) MAX staked £20
Good Luck with all bets tonight!!!
Fired free tenner on this after seeing it just before KO, made us sweat
Cameroon v Comoros
SkyBet offering 11/8 for Cameroon to score 4+ goals. Comoros are having to play an outfield player in goal.
Also taking Cameroon on the handicaps -2, 4/5 SkyBet
One thing I learnt from AFCON now is anybody can beat anybody. Tunisia knocked Nigeria out and Gambia did the same to Guinea Conakry. Iyalaya anybody at this AFCON.
What if Comoros cause another upset tonight?
Cameroon vs Comoros
Tip: Over 8.5 Corners
Cameroon v Comoros
As stated Comoros forced to play with an outfield player in goal. Plenty of shots from everywhere and everyone hopefully!
Cameroon to have 9 or more shots on target 13/10
Vincent Aboubakar to score 2 or more 5/2
Over 3.5mgs 4/5
Over 4.5mgs 11/5
Over 5.5mgs 9/2

Could be a total washout but this opportunity doesn’t come around too often!!
Good Luck and come on Cameroon 👍

After hearing the news about the Cameroon – Comoros game, decided to stick my free bet with Sky Bet on Cameroon -5 at 9/1. 😂🤞
Few interest only bets on the Cameroon game.
Vincent aboubakar 1st scorer 9-4.
Both teams to have a corner in each half 6-4.
Penalty taken 13-10.

Palermo do most of their scoring at home and are poor away, but they sit side by side in the table so hoping they break their away scoring hoodoo today.
Won’t be a goalfest.
Prediction 1-1, though I fear a 1-0 home win.

Hello pal
What do the numbers mean at the end of your post
For example
2.5up ?
Somebody ought to tell those Cameron players there is a defender in between the sticks, one shot on target in 45 mins against 10 men is embarrassing compared to Comoros three. The minnows unlucky not to be level and been a spirited display so far.
Horrendous isn’t it😂
Comoros looking the better side with 10men and a makeshift goal keeper, what a goal tho 🔥
Would laugh if I hadn’t lost so much on this game!
