BetGenius backs Middlesbrough or Draw (Double Chance) at 78% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Middlesbrough welcome Norwich to the Riverside Stadium in Championship action, with both sides positioned closely in the upper half of the table. The hosts occupy sixth place with ten points from five matches and boast a perfect home record so far, having scored five goals across their two home fixtures.
Norwich sit ninth with nine points from six matches, though consistency on the road remains an issue. The visitors have suffered two defeats in their three away outings and are yet to record a clean sheet this season, conceding an average of 1.7 goals per away fixture.
Historical meetings between the clubs heavily favour Middlesbrough, who have won six and drawn three of the last ten encounters. With in-form striker W. Lankshear leading the line and Norwich missing several players through injury, the home side enters the contest with positive momentum.
Combined scoring rate: 3.7 goals per game (Middlesbrough at home plus Norwich away).
