A place at Wembley is on the line when Southampton host Middlesbrough in the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final on Tuesday evening.
It’s even-steven between the two teams after last Saturday’s first leg at the Riverside finished goalless, although Boro might come to rue their failure to make their dominance pay.
While Kim Hellberg’s team enjoyed 65 per cent of possession, only three of their 17 shots hit the target, and Saints, who won the play-offs a couple of years ago, will surely now fancy their chances on home soil.
The build-up to the first leg was overshadowed by a ‘spygate’ row as Middlesbrough accused Southampton of sending a staff member to watch a training session for which Saints have since been charged by the EFL.
The winner of the other semi-final between Hull and Millwall await Southampton or Middlesbrough in the richest game in football later this month.
