Birmingham v Middlesbrough Tips

Middlesbrough have won their last six Championship matches against Birmingham. They have won three of their last five away matches in this competition. I can see them winning this time.

Birmingham are reliable at home and Middlesbrough bring attacking threat away. The data suggests both sides should get chances. This doesn't look like a 1-0 grind; it's more like a competitive game where both teams find the net and push for a winner. 2-1 either way would not surprise.

Birmingham failed to score last time when drawing 0-0 with West Brom. However, they dominated the game against a defensively minded West Brom side, and that was the first time this season they had failed to score at home. Middlesbrough are a strong side, but they don't keep many clean sheets on the road, with none in their last 11. I think both can score.
