Match Result Prediction: Middlesbrough to Win
Sunderland has earned a combination of two wins, two draws and a defeat in the last five league outings while they made alternative victories and losses in recent home duels. But the Boro have got the back of consecutive four Championship victories before this game. Middlesbrough has also been favourable in the H2Hs against Sunderland by winning four of the previous six meetings. So the Boro will be our favourites to take the lead in this game.
Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Both of the recent H2Hs of these teams at the home of Sunderland have ended with high-scoring totals and the same pattern is expected in this game. The Black Cats have managed an average of two goals per game in the previous five outings. Middlesbrough has rattled the net 11 times in the same course. Sunderland has also conceded goals in the recent consecutive games, allowing three in the last one.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-2 to Middlesbrough
Sunderland scored only one goal per game in the last two duels and hit the target at least twice in only two of the previous five meetings. However, Middlesbrough has scored more than once in three of the previous four outings. The Boro allowed a maximum of only one goal per game in all of those meetings. Following the current situation, we expect a lead of 1-2 for Middlesbrough to take three points.
