FREE PREVIEW

Middlesbrough's season form points to a clear statistical advantage at the Riverside, with a 61% model share driven by superior scoring and creativity numbers across the squad. Charlton arrive with solid defensive structure but lack the attacking punch to match Boro's deep talent pool, especially with W. Lankshear leading the line (0.9 goals per game). The matchup sets up as a home-side dominance story, though Charlton's resilience makes a straightforward outcome anything but a given.
