Analysis

Our model families split, but the ensemble picks Middlesbrough F.C., rating it at 38.9% — a consensus worth weighing, not a certainty.

The two have met 2 times, and Derby County F.C. won 1 of 2. 2 games is too small a sample to build on, so it doesn't feed the forecast.

They arrive from very different football. Middlesbrough F.C.'s last 5 produced 21 goals — 4.2 per game; they scored in 5 of them and conceded in 4. Derby County F.C.'s 5 produced 11, at 2.2 per game.

What to keep in mind

  • Middlesbrough F.C.'s games are very high-scoring at 4.2 goals — more goals means more variance and less predictability.
