Full analysis

Wrexham sit 17th with three league wins from 12, and arrive off 0-1 and 0-2 defeats. Their home attack tells a different story: 1.7 goals per game at the Racecourse this season, and goals in each of their last four home league games (4-1 Preston, 2-1 Southampton, 1-2 West Brom, 1-1 Burnley).

Middlesbrough are clear market favourites after going WWDWW, with Lankshear on 15 goals. Their defence is good but not airtight on the road, conceding 1.3 per away game this season. The last meeting at Wrexham finished 2-2, and Broadhead, Cacace and Revan are long-term absentees, so they are already reflected in Wrexham's numbers.

The lean is Wrexham to find the net, rated Medium rather than High. Middlesbrough have kept recent clean sheets against Charlton, Wolves and QPR, and Wrexham drew blanks in their last two games. With line-ups unconfirmed and a congested schedule, rotation is a further risk. The home scoring record keeps it above a low-confidence lean.
