Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

Stoke City come into this matchup having scored 11 and conceded 4 goals in their last 5 match, with a production rate of 2.2 goals per match; their defensive average of 0.8 goals conceded also stands out. All of these matches featured at least 1 and at least 2 goals, while 3 or more goals occurred in 5 matches, or 4 of them, and 4 or more goals occurred in 1 matches. In their last 4 home matches, Stoke have scored 8 goals and conceded 3, averaging 2 goals scored and 0.75 goals conceded. In this section, 1 or more goals occurred in 100% of matches, 2 or more goals in 75%, and 3 or more goals in 75%. In their last 5 matches, Middlesbrough scored 10 goals and conceded 7; averages of 2 goals scored, 1.4 conceded, and 3.4 total goals per match point to a more open game than Stoke’s. In their last 4 away match, the goals they scored and conceded were 5 each, with both averages at 1.25; 2 or more goals occurred in 75 percent, 3 or more in 50 percent, and 4 or more in 25 percent.

The two teams’ overall first-half figures are lively: 1 or more first-half goals were scored in 80% of Stoke’s matches, and 2 or more in 20%; for Middlesbrough, the figures are 80% and 40%. When the two teams’ recent matches are combined, 1 or more first-half goals occurred in 80 percent and 2 or more in 30 percent; overall, both teams scored in 70 percent, while 2 or more goals occurred in 80 percent, 3 or more in 70 percent, 4 or more in 40 percent, and 5 or more in 10 percent. Stoke scored most often in the 15-30 and 30-45+ minute ranges, three times each; for Middlesbrough, the distribution was 2 goals in 0-15, 1 in 15-30, 2 in 30-45+, 2 in 45-60, 1 in 60-75, and 2 goals in 75-90+. The details that stand out to me are Stoke scoring 3 goals at home in 0–15 and Middlesbrough conceding 5 goals away between 45–60. In their last 5 meetings, there have been 2.8 goals per match, 3 matches finishing with more than 2.5 goals, and 2 matches with both teams scoring. In the recent sample, the decisive factors will be Stoke’s early home pressure and Middlesbrough’s defensive resilience in the second half.

Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

A completely barren corner count looks unlikely in the Stoke City–Middlesbrough match, although the home-and-away split changes the picture somewhat. In Stoke’s last 5 matches overall, they averaged 6 corners per match, conceded 5.2 to opponents, and had a total average of 11.2. All of these matches featured 8 or more corners, while the rate for 9 or more was 80 percent, and the rates for 10 or more and 11 or more were both 60 percent. In Stoke’s last 4 home matches, the total average drops to 8.5; although 8 or more corners appeared in every match, there were no matches with 10 or more corners. Middlesbrough’s overall average is again 11.2; the team took 5.4 corners while allowing opponents 5.8. All of the last 5 matches ended with 8 or more corners; the rates were 60 percent for 9 or more, 60 percent for 10 or more, and 40 percent for 11 or more. Across their last 4 away matches, the total average was 10.25, with 8 or more in 75 percent; the rates for the 10, 11 and 12 or higher thresholds were each 50 percent. Stoke’s highest overall total is 14, compared with 15 for Middlesbrough; the away team’s lowest figure is 6.

The main detail that stands out to me is the directional difference in the corner balance. Stoke have taken more corners than their opponents in 3 of their last 5 matches overall and fewer in 2; at home, the balance is split two matches apiece. Middlesbrough held the advantage in only 1 match overall, while producing fewer corners than their opponents in 4 matches; away from home, the picture is 1 to 3. Nevertheless, conceding 6 corners per match to opponents away from home could keep Stoke’s wide attacks and pressing moments lively. The combined total from the two teams’ latest matches is 11.2; the figures calculated are 5.9 for Stoke and 5.3 for Middlesbrough. In the combined table from the last 10 matches, 9 or more corners occurred in 70% of matches, 10 or more in 60%, and 11 or more in 50%. The combined first-half average of 6, compared with 5.2 in the second half, also suggests the possibility of a more active opening period. Frankly, the key question is whether Stoke can increase their attacking output at home; the number of corners Middlesbrough concede away will show how congested the game becomes out wide.

Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

The card profile between Stoke City and Middlesbrough points to a tougher, more intense match for the home team. In Stoke’s last 5 matches, the average total cards per match was 4.8; Stoke averaged 2.4 cards and their opponents 2.4. At home, Stoke’s total average rises to 5.25; they receive 2 cards and their opponents receive 3.25. All 4 matches played at home featured 3 or more and 4 or more cards, while the rate for 5 or more cards was 50 percent. Overall, Stoke have recorded 3 or more cards in 100 percent of matches, 4 or more in 80 percent, and 5 or more in 40 percent. Middlesbrough’s total average over their last 5 matches is 3.2, while across 4 away matches it is 3.5. Away, 3 or more cards were recorded in 75 percent of matches, 4 or more in 50 percent and 5 or more in 25 percent. Stoke’s highest home total is 8 and its lowest is 4; Middlesbrough’s highest away total is 5 and its lowest is 2. This difference suggests that the physical intensity of the game could be determined more by matches played at Stoke’s ground.

There is no data in the JSON on the referee’s recent matches, so it is not possible to make a separate assessment based on his refereeing standard. Nevertheless, when the two teams’ recent matches are combined, the expected total is 4 cards, with 2 for the home team and 2 for the away team. In the combined sample of 10 matches, there were 4 or more cards in 5 matches, or 50 percent; 5 or more cards in 3 matches, at 30 percent, and 6 or more cards in 2 matches, at 20 percent. There were 2 matches with a red card, a rate of 20%. Stoke’s recent overall matches feature 10 yellow and 1 red cards, with a red card shown in 2 matches; at home, there are 8 yellow, 0 red and 1 matches featuring a red card. Middlesbrough have 8 yellow and 0 red cards overall; away from home, they have 5 yellow and 0 red cards. First-half total averages are 2.2 for Stoke overall and 1.5 at home; for Middlesbrough they are 0.8 overall and 1.25 away. With second-half averages of 2.6, 3.75, 2.4 and 2.25 respectively, the rise in tension during the closing stages, particularly at Stoke’s ground, becomes the main point to watch.

Yaşar Kenan Şeftalicioğlu provides his analysis

Between Stoke City and Middlesbrough, set pieces and phases carried toward the touchlines show two different characteristics. In their overall matches, Stoke average 10.8 free kicks taken, 13.4 conceded to opponents and 24.2 in total; for Middlesbrough, the figures drop to 9.4, 9.2 and 18.6. Stoke’s home total rises to 27.25, while Middlesbrough’s away total remains at 18. Total free kicks reached 20 or more in 80% of Stoke’s matches; the figure is 60% for Middlesbrough overall and 50% away. For the teams, Stoke’s rate of taking 10 or more corners is 60 percent, while Middlesbrough’s rate of reaching the same threshold away from home is 75 percent. For goal kicks, Stoke overall have recorded 10.2 of their own against 6 by opponents, with a total of 16.2; Middlesbrough’s figures are 9.2, 11 and 20.2. However, away from home, Middlesbrough’s own goal kicks drop to 6.25. Throw-ins are the most active area of this matchup: Stoke average 20 of their own throw-ins, 24.5 by opponents and 44.5 in total at home; away from home, Middlesbrough’s figures are 18.75, 21 and 39.75.

What stands out to me is that play is interrupted more often and spreads wider across the pitch at Stoke’s ground. In Stoke’s home matches, the free-kick total reached the 20 or more threshold in 100 percent and 22 or more in 100 percent; for throw-ins, the rates were 75 percent for 33 or more and 75 percent for 36 or more. Away from home, Middlesbrough have reached 33 or more throw-ins in 75 percent of matches, 36 or more in 75 percent, and 39 or more in 75 percent. The combined free-kick expectation is 21.4, with 10 for Stoke and 11.4 for Middlesbrough. The combined expectation for goal kicks is 18.2, with team shares of 10.6 and 7.6; for throw-ins, the figures are 35.8, with team expectations of 17 and 18.8. Frankly, these figures point to a controlled but physical game, with frequent stoppages, particularly out wide. Throw-in battles and Stoke’s home pressure could be decisive in the opening few minutes; Middlesbrough’s more balanced free-kick profile away from home could also prevent the game from becoming completely one-sided. This is a sample from the last few matches; the tempo and flow of the scoreline on the field could change the outlook in all these areas.
