Middlesbrough vs Cardiff City Prediction
Why we picked this for Middlesbrough vs Cardiff City
Our pick for Middlesbrough vs Cardiff City in Championship is Over 2.5 goals, with 85% confidence. Recent form: 3 of Middlesbrough's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (3.0 goals per game in total), against 2 of 5 for Cardiff City (3.0 per game). Recent form is split here (5 of 10 games went over 2.5), so it doesn't settle the call on its own.
Past meetings don't back this call, with just 2 of the last 5 head-to-heads ending over 2.5. Recent form weighs more heavily than older fixtures, which is why the pick stands. A confidence of 85% means the recent numbers clearly point to Over 2.5. The match ended 2-0, so Over 2.5 didn't come in.
