Middlesbrough Norwich City betting prediction

After 13 wins, 5 draws and 16 losses, the home team is in the 13^th position, havinf won 44 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Stoke City by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (0‑2) at home, against Plymouth Argyle. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Middlesbrough has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (7 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 12 of their last 17 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In 34 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 18 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 17 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Middlesbrough enters this match demotivated after an away defeat, by 2-0, at Stoke's stadium. The home team usually plays in a traditional 4-3-3 formation, with the three most advanced pieces being Sam Greenwood, Emmanuel Latte Lath, and Marcus Forss. The team's playmaker is Australian Riley McGree, responsible for defining and leading his team's attacks. Due to some weaknesses, Middlesbrough tends to operate in their midfield to cover their defensive flaws. The home team's coach is unlikely to have central defender Darragh Lenihan available as he is currently recovering from an ankle operation.

Confirmed Lineup: Seny Dieng, Rav van den Berg, Lukas Engel, Matthew Clarke, Luke Ayling, Paddy McNair, Jonathan Howson, Riley McGree, Lewis O'Brien, Marcus Forss, Emmanuel Latte Lath.
Coach: C. Wilder.
