Middlesbrough vs West Brom

Middlesbrough have won each of their last three league meetings with West Bromwich Albion without conceding, last winning four in a row versus the Baggies between 1994 and 1997.

West Bromwich Albion have only won on one of their last seven league trips to Middlesbrough (D2 L4), winning 1-0 under Slaven Bilic in October 2019 through a Hal Robson-Kanu goal.

Middlesbrough have picked up 13 points in five Championship games so far this season (W4 D1) – only two of the last 10 teams with 13+ points at this stage have then been promoted: Leeds United in 2019-20 and Fulham in 2021-22.

West Bromwich Albion have won their last two away Championship matches, more than they won in their previous 20 on the road (W1 D11 L8). The last time the Baggies won three away in a row was their first three away games of 2024-25.

Middlesbrough’s Matt Targett has been involved in a goal in each of his two Championship games so far for the club (1 goal, 1 assist). Targett’s ended on the winning side in 69.6% of his Championship appearances (16/23), the 10th best ratio of any player to make 20+ appearances since 2004-05.
