Why this pick
Why we picked this for Middlesbrough vs Southampton
Our pick for Middlesbrough vs Southampton in Championship is Over 2.5 goals, with 98% confidence. Recent form: 2 of Middlesbrough's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (3.0 goals per game in total), against 4 of 5 for Southampton (3.4 per game). That recent scoring pattern is the main reason behind the pick.
The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 98%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 2-1. The pick won.
