Birmingham to avoid defeat
Middlesbrough have had a much better season than Birmingham; however, they have struggled away from home over the course of their season. Boro have won 16 league games this season, and 12 of those wins were at home; they've won just four of 18 road games. In fact, Middlesbrough have no wins at the end of regulation time in their last seven away games. It's also worth noting that Boro lost their last two encounters with Birmingham; they've won just one of the last five meetings between these teams, with a draw and three losses. On that note, we're making the prediction that Birmingham will not lose this match.
Both sides to bag goals
Both teams have consistently scored and conceded goals this season. Birmingham found the back of the net in 11 of their last 13 games; conversely, they kept just two clean sheets in those 13 games. Both teams scored in 10 of Birmingham's last 13 games. Just like Birmingham, Middlesbrough have not been able to keep the goals out; they kept just one clean sheet in their last eight league games. To be fair, Middlesbrough also scored in seven of those eight games. It's important to note that both teams scored in four of the last six clashes between Birmingham and Middlesbrough; considering both teams scored in seven of Middlesbrough's last eight league games, both teams should find the net.
