Analysis

Both model families pick Middlesbrough F.C., rating it at 48.1% — a consensus worth weighing, not a certainty.

The two have met 2 times, and Preston North End F.C. won none of them. 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. Preston North End F.C.'s 5 produced 13, at 2.6 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.
