- 3rd Prediction: Under 2.5 goals 71/100
1st Prediction for Middlesbrough v Bristol City: Middlesbrough to win 17/25
Boro currently sit in ninth place and are unbeaten in the league at home since a 3-4 defeat against Leeds United last season. Michael Carrick’s side are favourites to beat the Robins this time round; a mixed run of form in their last five games still look more impressive than their opposition. Two wins against West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City could give Middlesbrough some ongoing momentum to emerge victorious again this weekend.
2nd Prediction for Middlesbrough v Bristol City: Over 10.5 corners 39/50
This has landed three times in their last five meetings in the league. For example, in a 2-1 Bristol City win in February 2022, Middlesbrough put up thirteen corners on their own and tend to try and progress up the pitch often under Carrick, providing plenty of opportunities for corners. Both sides will be looking at snatching all three points here and it may be unlikely that either settle for a draw here.
So far this season, Boro rank join-first in the league for most corners taken. Their total of 64 levels the Championship side with Luton Town and Sheffield Wednesday. Likewise, Bristol City aren’t far behind with 59 and both will likely continue this impressive trend.
3rd Prediction for Middlesbrough v Bristol City: Under 2.5 goals 71/100
For Carrick’s side, there have been under 2.5 goals in seven of their nine league fixtures this season. With the Robins also seeing this land in each of their last three Championship games, this should be an optimistic punt for their matchup.
Bristol City have been lacking goals recently and this slightly barren spell might continue into the weekend if problems in attack aren’t fixed. Statistically speaking, a low scoring game should present itself to us this weekend.

Full preview of the game: last results and head-to-head
Middlesbrough come into the game off the back of a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Watford. The Hornets grabbed all three points with a late comeback and Carrick’s side will surely have something to prove against a Bristol City side who have drawn all of their last three games.
Bristol City have dominated the head-to-head fixtures, in terms of results, recently – they have beaten Boro on their last two meetings and 12 times altogether. Middlesbrough last bested the Robins on home soil in August 2021 and will be hoping to get another win under their belt
This will be Chris Hogg’s first game in charge of the Robins, with Liam Manning stepping away from the club, under unimaginably heartbreaking circumstances. It will be interesting to see how the former Newcastle United academy manager sets up his new side.
