Middlesbrough form and stats
The overall Championship statistics at home this season for Middlesbrough are 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The fans are hoping that Middlesbrough will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Championship game against Hull City (placed 21st). Defender Dael Fry got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.32/10. Fry won 10 of 14 duels.
Ahead of that match, Middlesbrough won a home game hosting Sheffield United (2-0).The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Middlesbrough's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn zero and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Barnsley are coming to town in four days.

Peterborough United form and stats
Peterborough United, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Championship, have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 5 away matches played so far in the Championship. Bitter travels for Peterborough as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Doncaster Rovers match.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting AFC Bournemouth.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Peterborough when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.
Peterborough have another fixture away from home in just four nights, a Championship fixture vs Hull City. A demanding timetable for them!
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. There are big problems for the Peterborough defense as they have conceded 16 goals in 5 away games.
