Our pick for Middlesbrough vs Stoke City in EFL Trophy is Under 2.5 goals, with 63% confidence. Recent form: 3 of Middlesbrough's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (3.0 goals per game in total), against 3 of 5 for Stoke City (2.4 per game). Recent form is split here (4 of 10 games went under 2.5), so it doesn't settle the call on its own.
Previous meetings agree, with 3 of the last 5 head-to-heads ending under 2.5. The 63% confidence reflects a real but modest lean in the recent numbers. The match ended 0-5, so Under 2.5 didn't come in.
