Recent form
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last six games showing a mixed bag of results. Despite their 9th position in the league, they've managed to maintain a positive goal difference of 3, highlighting their defensive strength with only 0.67 goals conceded per game and 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches. Interestingly, 83% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring encounters. While there are no notable winning or losing streaks, Middlesbrough did secure back-to-back victories against West Brom and Stoke City before their most recent loss to Watford. The team's goal-scoring record of 1.17 goals per game indicates room for improvement in their offensive output, especially considering that both teams scored in only 33% of these matches.
Bristol City
Bristol City's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with a notable improvement in defensive stability. After suffering two consecutive 3-0 defeats against Derby County and Blackburn Rovers, the team has since gone unbeaten in their last four matches. However, this unbeaten run consists of three consecutive draws, indicating a struggle to secure victories. The team's goal-scoring output has been low, averaging just 0.67 goals per game in their last six matches, while conceding 1.5 goals per game. Their only win in this period came against Oxford United, and they've managed just one clean sheet. The even split between under and over 2.5 goals in their matches suggests unpredictable scoring patterns. Despite their recent unbeaten streak, Bristol City's 16th position in the league table reflects their inconsistent performances.

Recent home/away form
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough's recent home form shows a mixed bag of results, with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 6 games at the Riverside Stadium. Notably, they've managed to keep clean sheets in 3 of these matches, including their most recent 2-0 victory against Stoke City in the Championship. However, their home form was marred by a heavy 5-0 defeat to the same opponent in the League Cup, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Despite this setback, Middlesbrough has shown resilience, remaining unbeaten in their last three home league matches. Their goal-scoring rate at home (1.17 goals per game) is slightly lower than their goals conceded (1.33 per game), resulting in a narrow negative goal difference. Interestingly, 67% of their recent home games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs at the Riverside.
Bristol City
Bristol City's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with their last six games showing a pattern of DDLLWW. The team has struggled in their recent Championship away matches, failing to score in their last two league games on the road, both resulting in 3-0 defeats against Blackburn Rovers and Derby County. This indicates a concerning run of two consecutive losses without finding the net. However, they managed to break this losing streak with a 1-1 draw against Swansea in their most recent away game. On a positive note, Bristol City demonstrated strong form in their pre-season friendlies, securing two away wins with clean sheets against Cheltenham (3-0) and Aldershot Town (2-0). The team's overall goal difference in these six games is -1, with 7 goals scored and 8 conceded, suggesting a relatively balanced but slightly underperforming away record.
