Middlesbrough average 3.0 goals scored and 1.7 conceded over their last five home games, while Millwall average 1.3 scored and 2.7 conceded over their last five away games. Looking at what drives the winner call, the model's own attribution points to home advantage (11.1 points toward Middlesbrough), attack (3.9 points toward Middlesbrough), results & dominance (3.8 points toward Middlesbrough). These factors are measured in win-probability points and add up to the gap between the two sides if there is a winner.
