Expert Analysis by Omoye ThankGod
Middlesbrough hold a slight statistical edge, though this game remains competitive. We expect periods of sustained pressure mixed with cautious possession.
The historical data reinforces the idea that form often goes out the window here. The smart money follows the trend of low-scoring, disciplined performances. Our model identifies this as the most rational reading of the game.
