Derby County, currently positioned 14th in the league, will host Middlesbrough in an upcoming England Championship match. Derby County's season record comprises 8 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses. At home, Derby's performance shows 3 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses, with 15 goals scored and 18 conceded. I average 1.25 goals per home game, conceding 1.5 goals per match at home. Middlesbrough, the away team, holds the 2nd position in the league standings. Their season record includes 12 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses. Middlesbrough's away record is 5 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, scoring 17 goals and conceding 14. This equates to an average of 1.42 goals scored and 1.17 goals conceded per away game. Looking at recent form, Derby County has scored 15 goals and conceded 15 in their last 10 matches, with 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 losses. Middlesbrough, in their last 10 games, has scored 16 goals and conceded 13, achieving 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. Based on both teams' season performances and recent form, Middlesbrough appears to have an advantage in terms of points, offensive and defensive efficiency, and current form. Middlesbrough has 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 games, with a steady offensive output of 1.6 goals per game and a defense allowing only 1.3 goals. Derby County's home record shows a win rate of only 25% (3 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses). I find the home team's offensive output of 1.25 goals per game to be average, and their defensive weakness is apparent, conceding 1.5 goals. However, Middlesbrough has recently been winless, and I favour the home side in this match. 1-1 2-1
