Middlesbrough Stoke City betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 16^th position of the league, with 52 points won, after 11 wins, 19 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Swansea City, by (3‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Rotherham United, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 21 points in away matches and 31 at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 20 conceded at home, against 19 goals scored and 27 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Stoke City has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (8 out of 21 matches). In 42 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Stoke City arrive for this game with a 2-2 home draw against Rotherham, registering the second match without winning in this competition: Vokes and Clucas scored the team's goals. We point out that the hosts won only 3 out of 21 games they played away from home. On this round against Middlesbrough, which are still struggling for a place in the promotion play-offs, manager Nathan Jones is expected to keep the team in 4-3-3, with the top three positions being held by McClean, Afobe and Vokes. However, the great highlight of Stoke City is Danny Batth, a very powerful and excellent player in the aerial game. Thomas Ince is the only one missing for this game.
