Why the model favours this outcome

Watford FC have scored at a below-average rate at home, which limits the model's home goal expectation. Middlesbrough FC's travelling attack has outperformed the competition average. Combined attacking and defensive numbers point toward a higher-scoring game than average. Middlesbrough FC arrive in stronger recent form, which the model weights alongside season-long numbers.
