Middlesbrough to win promotion from the Championship odds have shortened from 6/5 to 8/11 with BetGoodwin. Track the movement as three bookmakers cut odds.
The odds on Middlesbrough to win promotion from the Championship have tumbled since Saturday's win over Wolves at the Riverside, with Bet365 going 1/1 on Boro's promotion bid.
Three of nine bookmakers have cut their odds on Middlesbrough to win promotion from the Championship.
The best price left on Middlesbrough to win promotion from the Championship is 1/1 with Bet365.
West Ham remain the favourites at a best price of 4/11 with Coral.
Will Lankshear's header beat Wolves, and Boro are now unbeaten in their last six Championship matches.
This was a big afternoon on Teesside. A sold-out Riverside turned up for the club's 150th-anniversary fixture, Boro wore a commemorative all-blue kit, and the home side delivered the kind of result the occasion needed. The winner came in the 57th minute: Tommy Conway swung a cross to the far post and Will Lankshear headed it past José Sá. Substitute Kyle Joseph then rattled the crossbar with a late header, so this wasn't a side clinging on.
That's why the bookmakers have moved. Beating a direct promotion rival carries more weight than three points against a mid-table side, and it extends a run that now reads unbeaten in six Championship outings for Kim Hellberg's team. Three of nine firms have already cut their price, with Bet365 going 1/1 on the club's promotion push from the Championship.

How do the odds on Middlesbrough to win promotion from the Championship compare with the favourites?
West Ham are the favourites at a best price of 4/11 with Coral, and nobody has laid a glove on that position. Middlesbrough are second-shortest at 1/1 with Bet365, the side on the move after beating Wolves. Look at the wider table and it's a top end that's beginning to split: West Ham out in front, then a scrap between Boro and Wolves that Saturday's result has tilted Middlesbrough's way.
West Ham – 4/11 (Coral), the clear market leaders.
Middlesbrough – 1/1 (Bet365), the side on the move after beating Wolves.
Wolverhampton – 11/10 (Bet365), now just behind Boro after their second league defeat of the season.
Southampton – 9/4 (Bet365), next in line, with Norwich further back at 10/1 (Bet365).
Latest bookmaker offer
Can Middlesbrough win promotion from the Championship?
The case rests on two things: a side that keeps finding a way through its unbeaten run, and a striker who decides tight games. Lankshear arrived permanently from Tottenham in July on a five-year contract, and settling a game this big already looks like money well spent. Radek Vitek's clean sheet at the back end of the pitch matters too, since a promotion push needs a goalkeeper who doesn't give anything back. If Boro keep finding results like Saturday's, the odds could shorten further still, with West Ham remaining the side everyone else is chasing.
