Middlesbrough Host Charlton In High Scoring Clash

Middlesbrough sit top after twelve games and have posted three or more goals in nine of them while both sides found the net in ten. Their attack averages 2.3 goals per match at the Riverside and they have not failed to score in any league outing. Charlton arrive in poor shape with just two draws and three defeats in their last five and they average only 0.9 goals scored on the road. Middlesbrough concede 1.4 per game overall but face an opponent that has shipped 2.2 away from home this season. Head to head records show Middlesbrough winning seven of the last ten meetings though just three of those produced over 2.5 goals. The pattern of open games at home for the leaders plus Charlton’s leaky defence away points to a match that should feature several goals. A fast start from Middlesbrough against a side that struggles to keep clean sheets could open space for further chances.
