This England Championship match sees Middlesbrough hosting Blackburn Rovers. Analyzing the data, several factors point towards a Middlesbrough victory. The head-to-head record leans slightly towards Blackburn, but the recent form and injury situations favour the home side. Middlesbrough's home advantage, coupled with Blackburn's extensive injury list, significantly impacts the prediction. Seven key players are out for Middlesbrough, while Blackburn has eight. This directly affects team selection and tactical flexibility, potentially weakening Blackburn's attacking and defensive capabilities. The match odds reflect this, with Middlesbrough being the clear favourite. The Asian Handicap of -0.75 for Middlesbrough suggests a strong expectation of a win, likely by a margin of at least two goals. The over/under market currently sets the line at 2.5 goals. Considering Middlesbrough's home form and Blackburn's likely weakened attack, combined with the historical head-to-head data indicating moderately low scoring games, the under seems a reasonable bet. Given that Middlesbrough has a good chance of winning with a goal difference of 1 or more goals, so there's not too much goals expected in this game. Taking into account all of these parameters, it is expected that Middlesbrough should secure the victory, but the game is expected to be under 2.5 goals.
