Stats for this game
Matchup Derby VS Middlesbrough
Narrow wins are shared
Derby won 1-0 at home on 1 January 2026 and 17 August 2024. Middlesbrough answered with a 2-1 home victory on 29 November 2025 and a 1-0 win on 1 March 2025. These Championship scores point to alternation rather than a settled direction, with each club able to produce a narrow league result. The 1-0 victories are especially useful because they are split between the clubs. That division makes the fixture difficult to reduce to one side.
Wider margins add context
Middlesbrough’s 4-1 home win on 12 February 2022 stands apart from the close results, while the 0-0 draw at Derby on 21 August 2021 supplies a shared-points counterpoint. Neither score should replace the broader mixed historical profile. A future Championship meeting will ask whether Derby or Middlesbrough can turn a narrow advantage into a clearer league direction, or whether the balance shifts again in another close contest.
