Middlesbrough (11th, 3 pts) host Norwich (23rd, 0 pts) in the Championship. Both sides will be targeting three points here.
Middlesbrough's home record this season is formidable. W1 D0 L0 from 1, scoring 2.0 goals per game at home. Norwich, by contrast, have struggled on the road (W0 D0 L1 from 1 away). That imbalance is hard to ignore. Middlesbrough's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf. Interestingly, Middlesbrough look better than their results show. The quality of chances they create is worth 2.0 a game, but they're only converting 1.5 goals. They're creating more than the scoreline shows and look due a few more goals.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Middlesbrough create chances worth 2.0 a game (and give up chances worth 1.2), leaving them +0.8 a game on the balance. Norwich create 1.4 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of 0.0. The underlying numbers clearly favour Middlesbrough. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones. Middlesbrough should be scoring more. Their chances are worth 2.0 a game but they're only getting 1.5 goals. When the finishing clicks, they'll be a handful. A worry for Middlesbrough: the chances they're creating lately are worth 1.6 a game, well below their 2.0 season figure. The attacking output has dipped.
Middlesbrough average 1.5 goals per game and Norwich manage 0.5. Combined that's just 2.0. We make it 55% for three or more, so there's no strong lean on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 47%.
Both teams score in 48% of Middlesbrough's home games and 65% of Norwich's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Norwich travel here with relegation breathing down their neck. At 23rd, they can't afford to drop many more points.
