Recent form

Burnley are currently enjoying a remarkable run of form, having won their last four matches and kept five consecutive clean sheets. This impressive defensive record has seen them concede just one goal in their last six games, with an average of only 0.17 goals conceded per game. The Clarets' recent performances have propelled them to second place in the Championship, amassing 36 points from 18 games. Despite their solid defensive displays, Burnley's attacking output has been somewhat modest, scoring six goals in their last six matches, with all of these games featuring under 2.5 goals. Notably, the team has not been involved in a high-scoring affair recently, and their current unbeaten streak stands at five matches, showcasing their consistency and resilience in the competitive Championship.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have shown impressive form recently, winning four of their last six matches and scoring an astonishing 18 goals in the process. Their attacking prowess is particularly noteworthy, with an average of 3 goals scored per game over this period. The team have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, including a remarkable 6-2 victory over Oxford United and a 5-1 thrashing of Luton Town.

However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding in all six matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven games. The high percentage of matches with over 2.5 goals (83%) suggests that Middlesbrough's games are typically entertaining affairs, with both teams finding the back of the net in two-thirds of their recent matches.
