Middlesbrough 2-3 Sheffield Wednesday. The most surprising result of the Championship campaign so far?
Not the fact that Boro lost. That was exactly what they deserved on an afternoon when Aitor Karanka's side were below par and second best.
But looking back, what was more surprising was that one side leaked three goals and another two.
A quick glance at the for and against column of both clubs in the Championship table certainly points towards anything but a five-goal thriller.
Indeed, Wednesday remain the only team to hit more than two goals in a game against Boro this season.
Since the disappointing defeat at a sun-kissed Riverside in August, Boro have gone on to establish the best defensive record in the Championship by some way. Their refusal to leak goals has undoubtedly been the cornerstone from which the bid for the title has been launched.
But at Hillsborough, Boro's attackers will get a slight taste of what life is like for opposing forwards trying to break down the sternest of defences.
For Sheffield Wednesday boast a solid backline of their own. The 32 goals leaked this year is second best to Boro in the Championship.
It's that defensive record that's allowed the Owls to enjoy a worry-free campaign of mid-table medicrity.
Going forward they've only managed to plunder 28 goals, the same as the bottom two clubs Blackpool and Wigan, yet three of those strikes were against rock solid Boro. It's a funny old game.
Despite Boro's admirable record of keeping their opponents out, they'd only notched one clean sheet in five before the visit of Bolton this week.
Dimi, back between the sticks, recorded his 14th shut-out out of the season against the Trotters. Ironically, the same number of clean sheets as Wednesday keeper Kieren Westwood has notched.
And although Westwood missed the midweek win over Millwall due to suspension, he'll be back between the sticks against Boro tomorrow.
The former Sunderland stopper has kept the opponents out in almost 44% of his appearances so far this season while Dimi, no doubt brimming with delight after penning his contract extension earlier in the week, has kept a clean sheet in more than half of the games he's played in this year.
With both sides difficult to break down it's no real surprise to see the odds of a stalemate as short as 13/2 ahead of tomorrow's clash.
Had Tomas Mejias not dropped a clanger and Dean Whitehead not stuck out an arm in last season's fixture, that's how it would have finished.
Chances of Dimi making a howler of his own are slim and Boro aren't in the middle of a drastic goal drought that they were suffering this time last year.
The stats and figures point towards a tight, closely-fought affair at a ground where Boro don't have a great record.
Not buying into it and believe the form guide will get chucked out of the window in a goal-filled cracker?
Sheffield Wednesday 2-3 Middlesbrough....40/1.
