Middlesbrough are brimming with confidence following a 4-0 win over Southampton, but with Fulham being a real force to be reckoned with at home, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Cottagers are missing Bassey, Chukwueze, and Iwobi to international duty, but they have the squad depth to cover these absences. Theyâve shown solid form overall, averaging 1.7 points per game, scoring 1.7 goals per match, and keeping clean sheets in 30% of matches. Their attacking numbers are impressive, with 3.2 average goals per game in fixtures overall and a high BTTS rate of 70%, suggesting theyâre likely to be involved in a goal-scoring contest.The Boro’s only notable absentee is Alex Bangura, though he wasnât missed in their 4-0 demolition of Southampton. Middlesbrough have been efficient both home and away, averaging 1.7 goals scored per match and conceding just 1.2, showing a relatively balanced setup. They have a 50% BTTS rate, so they can both score and defend effectively.
