The database contains 2 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Wrexham won 2–0 against Middlesbrough. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.42 for Wrexham and 0.91 for Middlesbrough. Wrexham generated the higher xG total. Wrexham scored +0.58 goals relative to xG and Middlesbrough scored -0.91 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Wrexham registered 15 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 26.7%); Middlesbrough recorded 12 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 16.7%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (56.9%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
