Middlesbrough vs Bristol City: match statistics
Middlesbrough occupies second place in the table and shows solid home form with a 56% win rate and only 17% of matches lost at their own stadium. The hosts show an advantage in expected goals (xG 1.78 vs 1.19), which speaks to the quality of chances created. Bristol City is going through a crisis of form with four defeats in their last five matches and a points tally of just 0.6 PPG. The visitors have a poor away record (39% loss rate, 39% FTS%) and a negative goal difference (-2) in road games. Middlesbrough should capitalize on their home advantage and the opponent's poor disposition, although Bristol City can be an awkward opponent, which justifies a moderate probability of a draw.
