Middlesbrough have taken five points from their last five; West Brom have won three of their last five. The visitors bring the sharper form into this Championship tie.
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.

Middlesbrough create chances worth 2.0 a game (and give up chances worth 1.2), leaving them +0.8 a game on the balance. West Brom create 1.6 (giving up 1.0) for a balance of +0.7. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. 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 West Brom manage 2.0. Combined that's just 3.5. We make it only 8% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Both teams scoring is unlikely here (29%). Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Middlesbrough and West Brom together create chances worth 3.6 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Both teams score in 48% of Middlesbrough's home games and 48% of West Brom's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
West Brom are similarly well-balanced. 2.0 scored, 0.6 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides.
