Middlesbrough are in decent form: 2 won, 2 drawn and 1 lost from their last 5, 8 points from a possible 15. They have scored 10 and conceded 6 in that run. Their last game was a 2–2 draw away at Wrexham.

Southampton are in strong form: 3 won, 2 drawn and 0 lost from their last 5, 11 points from a possible 15. They have scored 12 and conceded 6 in that run. Their last game was a 3–1 win away at Preston North End.

The best prices across 3 UK bookmakers are 2.15 for Middlesbrough, 3.50 for the draw and 3.40 for Southampton. The bookmakers make Middlesbrough favourites, at about 45% once the margin is taken out.

Our prediction: Middlesbrough to win, with a 48% chance. The market puts it at 45% and our match model at 52%, and blending those with recent form gives 48%. The best price, 2.15 at WilliamHill, is longer than our fair price of 2.10, so there is value in it. The pick lost.
