What to expect

We expect about 1.5 goals from Bolton and 1.7 from Middlesbrough, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Middlesbrough come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.5-1.7), and we make both teams to score about 64%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 64 out of 100. There is no settled price to hold that up against yet, so treat the call on its own terms.

What the numbers say
✓Bolton have won three of their last five.
✓Middlesbrough are unbeaten in their last five — three wins and two draws.
