BTTS Yes — 74% confidence
Neither team has failed to score in any Championship match this season, with Stoke City recording zero scoreless games across nine matches and Middlesbrough doing the same. Stoke have scored 15 goals and conceded 13 in nine outings, while Middlesbrough have registered 17 goals and conceded 12. With attacking weapons like W. Lankshear in form for the visitors and Stoke averaging two goals per game at home, both teams are primed to find the net.
Stoke City or Draw — 68% confidence
Stoke City enter this fixture with strong home momentum, having won three of their four home matches while scoring eight goals and conceding just three at the bet365 Stadium. Furthermore, Stoke are unbeaten across their past five league matches with four victories and one draw. Middlesbrough have been solid but have drawn two and lost one of their four away matches, making the home side well-positioned to secure at least a point.
These two calls are about different parts of the match (both teams to score and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
