- Middlesbrough is predicted to beat Millwall 2-1, despite winning only two of their last seven matches, as their underlying expected goals data remains exceptionally strong (+1.4 per game over the last seven).
- Birmingham is favored to be winning at halftime against Blackburn due to their league-leading home expected goals figure (18.58) and high number of first-half goals scored at St Andrew's.
