The upcoming match between Swansea City and Middlesbrough is set to be an intriguing and unpredictable encounter. Middlesbrough, known for not being affected by the home team's crowd, has been in a good form recently, having achieved positive results in their last two matches. However, their defensive department needs some improvement, especially when playing away from home.
On the other hand, Swansea City has been struggling defensively, even in their home matches. With a worrying defensive record and an average of 1.1 goals scored per game, Swansea City will have to find a way to tighten up at the back if they want to come away with a positive result. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, has been more prolific in front of goal, averaging 1.6 goals per game.
Looking at the recent head-to-head record between the two teams, Middlesbrough has had the upper hand with 5 victories in their last encounters. This could suggest that Middlesbrough might have the psychological edge going into the match. However, with Swansea City being coached by Alan Sheehan and Middlesbrough by Michael Carrick, both teams will be looking to put on a strong performance and secure the three points.
Considering the stats and recent form of both teams, it appears that the outcome of the match is uncertain. With Middlesbrough's attacking threat and Swansea City's defensive vulnerabilities, betting on an away win (2) could be a wise choice. Expecting an entertaining and high-scoring match with plenty of goals, both teams will be looking to showcase their abilities and come away with a valuable victory.
