Bristol City form and stats

Bristol City have collected 30 points from their Championship home games so far after 8-6-6.

A good away victory last time out for Bristol City, who won 2-1 against Stoke City (placed 14th). Sweet to taste a league win after three matches without. Manager Pearson felt very clever after Mehmeti scored the winning goal against Stoke City, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 81st minute. Defender Vyner got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.85/10. Vyner scored one goal and won 8 of 13 duels.

Before that, Bristol drew at home versus Reading.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 11 league matches, 10 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

The Bristol City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 20 matches. Bristol City have only conceded 19 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Middlesbrough form and stats

As the visiting team matches, Middlesbrough, who have the most scored goals (35) away in Championship, have produced an overall stat of 9-1-10 so far.

Middlesbrough might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Burnley proved too strong as Middlesbrough slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Riverside Stadium. Akpom has scored for this team six games in a row. The flair! Attacker Akpom got a player rating of 7.02 in the game. "Man of the match" Akpom scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that match, the Middlesbrough manager Carrick faced defeat when travelling to Huddersfield Town and losing 2-4.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this team's 11 most recent league fixtures have ended with three goals or more.

A new game in only four days for Middlesbrough, the Championship home match versus Norwich City. Busy days.

Middlesbrough are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 35 times in 20 away games so far. Middlesbrough struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 32 goals conceded from these games.
