Middlesbrough 3-3 Sheffield Wednesday

Current streaks

Recent form

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Teesside club have shown resilience in attack, scoring nine goals in these fixtures, but their defence has been equally porous, conceding the same number. A particularly high-scoring encounter was their most recent match, a 3-3 thriller against Plymouth Argyle. Interestingly, Middlesbrough have maintained a perfect balance in their goal difference and in their over/under 2.5 goals statistics, with half of their last six games seeing more than 2.5 goals. Despite this inconsistency, Boro have managed to secure a respectable 6th position in the Championship table, suggesting they are still very much in the promotion hunt. Their ability to find the net has been consistent, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of these matches, indicating that Middlesbrough's games are often entertaining affairs for neutral spectators.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, securing four victories in their last six matches. The Owls are currently enjoying a two-match winning streak, having defeated Stoke City and Oxford United, scoring five goals and conceding just one in the process. Their defensive record has been particularly noteworthy, with only four goals conceded in the last six games and two clean sheets. The team's goal-scoring prowess has also been on display, netting 10 times in this period for an average of 1.67 goals per game. While there were no exceptionally high-scoring matches, the 3-1 away victory against Oxford United stands out as their most prolific performance. Despite a brief setback with a 1-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday have bounced back strongly, demonstrating resilience and consistency that has propelled them to 9th position in the Championship table.

Recent home/away form

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have shown impressive form at home recently, winning three of their last four matches at the Riverside Stadium. Their home record includes a notable high-scoring victory against Luton Town, thrashing them 5-1. Despite two losses in their last six home games, Middlesbrough have managed to keep two clean sheets, demonstrating their defensive capabilities. The team's goal-scoring prowess is evident, netting 10 goals in their last six home matches, averaging 1.67 goals per game. Interestingly, their matches have been evenly split between low-scoring affairs and goal fests, with 50% of games seeing under 2.5 goals and 50% over 2.5 goals. This inconsistency in scorelines adds an element of unpredictability to Middlesbrough's home performances, making them an exciting team to watch for neutral fans.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown impressive form away from home, with a current streak of three consecutive away wins in the Championship. Their recent away performances have been particularly strong, scoring multiple goals in each of their last three away fixtures. The Owls have been resilient defensively on their travels, conceding just five goals in their last six away matches, including a clean sheet against Hull City. Despite a narrow loss to local rivals Sheffield United, Wednesday have bounced back admirably, demonstrating their ability to grind out results on the road. Their away form has been crucial in their climb to 9th position in the league, with a positive goal difference of 5 in these six matches highlighting their effectiveness both in attack and defence when playing away from Hillsborough.
