This England Championship fixture sees Derby County hosting Middlesbrough. Examining the recent form and head-to-head records provides key insights for our predictions. Derby County's recent form reveals a mixed bag. Their last five matches include a 2-1 loss against Leicester City and draws against Birmingham City, Portsmouth, and Millwall, with a notable 3-0 away win against Sheffield Wednesday. Their recent home form suggests they can be competitive, but they haven't consistently secured victories. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, shows a more consistent run, winning their last away game against Hull City 1-0. Their recent results also include a draw against Blackburn Rovers and wins against Queens Park Rangers and Charlton Athletic. This form suggests Middlesbrough is more solid defensively and has a better ability to secure results away from home. The head-to-head data significantly favors Middlesbrough. They have a strong record against Derby County, having won four of the last ten encounters. Moreover, Middlesbrough has demonstrated a higher scoring ability, and Derby's defense has been somewhat porous, conceding goals in several recent matches. This historical trend further supports a Middlesbrough advantage in this match. Considering the match odds, the bookmakers favor Middlesbrough slightly. The Asian Handicap of 0.25 in Middlesbrough’s favour further reflects this assessment. The Over/Under line is set at 2.25 goals, and given the scoring trends, the under looks a more reasonable prediction. Middlesbrough's defensive solidity could translate to a lower-scoring affair. The win-draw-loss odds further indicate a slight advantage for Middlesbrough to win the match. Derby County's inconsistent form and struggles against Middlesbrough in the past, combined with Middlesbrough's steadier recent performances, make the away win a plausible outcome. In conclusion, the prediction leans towards Middlesbrough winning the match. The analysis is supported by their recent form, head-to-head records, and the bookmakers' odds. The prediction for the Over/Under is Under 2.25 goals, considering both teams' recent performances. The Asian Handicap prediction also favours Middlesbrough.
