REVIEW Middlesbrough vs Birmingham
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Middlesbrough shaded a tight game against Birmingham 2-1.

From a near-even 39% / 30% / 31% read, it was Middlesbrough who turned the coin-flip their way. The one blemish: under 2.5 goals (57%) never looked like landing.

The match data tells the story: Middlesbrough had 43% of the ball to Birmingham's 57%, shots finished 8-13, expected goals 0.61 to 1.20 — on chances, Birmingham could feel hard done by.

For context: across their last 6 meetings in our records, Middlesbrough had the better of it with 5 wins. Those games averaged 1.33 goals for Middlesbrough and 0.50 for Birmingham.
