Recent form
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough's recent form has been impressive, with the team currently on a six-game unbeaten run, including four wins and two draws. They have been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding only two goals, resulting in an impressive goals conceded per game average of 0.33. Middlesbrough's attacking play has also been effective, scoring nine goals in their last six games, with an average of 1.5 goals per game. The team's overall performance has been consistent, with 83% of their matches featuring under 2.5 goals, indicating a focus on defensive stability. Their current form has helped them secure a mid-table position of 9th in the league, with 58 points from 40 games.
Swansea
Swansea, currently sitting in 15th position in the Championship with 47 points from 40 games, have had a mixed bag of results in their last six matches. They have alternated between wins, draws, and losses, with their most recent game ending in a 1-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers. Despite the inconsistency in results, Swansea have managed to keep their matches relatively low-scoring, with five out of the six games featuring under 2.5 goals. The only exception was their 2-1 victory against Blackburn on March 2nd. Notably, Swansea secured a 2-0 win against their rivals Cardiff on March 16th, which was their only clean sheet in the last six games.

Recent home/away form
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough's recent home form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six games at the Riverside Stadium. Their most recent result was a convincing 2-0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday, which ended a run of two consecutive home defeats against Plymouth Argyle and Bristol City. Notably, their 3-1 win over Norwich stands out as a particularly high-scoring game compared to their other home matches. Despite the inconsistency in results, Middlesbrough has managed to keep a respectable defensive record at home, conceding an average of one goal per game and keeping two clean sheets in their last six home fixtures.
Swansea
Swansea's recent away form in the Championship has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six games on the road. They have managed to find the back of the net in each of these matches, scoring a total of six goals at an average of one per game. However, their defense has been slightly less solid, conceding seven goals in the same period, resulting in a negative goal difference of -1. It's worth noting that their most recent away fixture against Sheffield Wednesday ended in a 1-1 draw, while their trip to Leicester in late January saw them suffer a relatively high-scoring 3-1 defeat. Despite the inconsistencies, Swansea has managed to avoid any prolonged runs of away defeats, although they haven't been able to string together more than two consecutive wins either.
