Probable Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough, led by Michael Carrick, have a more flexible tactical approach, but tend to prefer a 4-4-2 formation. Marcus Forss and Emmanuel Latte Lath are key players in attack, while Jonny Howson and Lewis O'Brien play vital roles in midfield. The defense is bolstered by the experience of Paddy McNair and Lee Ayling.
Probable Southampton
Southampton, under the guidance of coach Martin Russell, have often adopted a 4-3-3 formation. The team relies on the efficiency of Adam Armstrong and Che Adams in attack, while Will Smallbone and Flynn Downes provide crucial balance in midfield. Defensive solidity is guaranteed by the duo of Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens.
Southampton (4-3-3): Gavin Bazunu (Goal), Taylor Harwood-Bellis (ZD), Jack Stephens (ZC), Jan Bednarek (ZC), Ryan Manning (ZE), Will Smallbone (MC), Flynn Downes (MC), Stuart Armstrong (MC), David Brooks (AT), Adam Armstrong (AT), Che Adams (AT).
Middlesbrough last few away games
In their last few away games, Middlesbrough have had mixed results. They drew with Blackburn Rovers (0-0), beat Birmingham (0-1) and Queens Park Rangers (0-2), but lost to Stoke City (2-0).
Southampton as home
In recent home games, Southampton have been in impressive form. They beat Sunderland 4-2 and Birmingham 3-4, although they suffered defeats against Liverpool in the FA Cup (3-0) and Millwall (1-2) and Hull City (1-2) in the Championship.
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough will kick off their 39th Championship match with the hope of reaching the G-6, even if it seems rather difficult. The team will start the match in 10th place in the standings, 7 points off the desired G-6.
However, as mentioned, the team has regained faith in reaching the post-season, due to recent good results - Middlesbrough have gone 4 games unbeaten, winning 3 times during this stretch. The only time they haven't won in recent times was in the last round, when they drew 0-0 at home to Blackburn. It was certainly a disappointing result.
Southampton
Southampton will start their match in the 29th round of the Championship in 4th place with 73 points. The fight for G-2 has become complicated. After all, they are nine points behind second-placed Leicester, but with a game in hand on their rivals. Therefore, a win this afternoon will keep the dream of direct access burning.
After an unexpectedly uneven stretch, Southampton have returned to winning ways in their last two games. In their last match, they almost complicated a game that looked easy when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Sunderland after going 2-0 up. However, they picked up the pace again, scoring two more goals at the end of the game to win 4-2. However, their defense continues to be a problem. Southampton have conceded an average of 2 goals in their last 6 matches.
TIME AND PLACE!
Southampton and Middlesbrough clash this Friday (29) at 12 noon Brasília time at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton, England. Both teams are in new good phases. However, both are far from their current goals. However, they're hoping to get a good result in this match to keep the flame burning.
It's going to be a very tight game, between two teams that could meet in the post-season. Southampton are still dreaming of direct access to the Premier League, but they can't afford any more mistakes. Boro are still aiming for the G-6, but also have minimal margin for error. A draw is not good for either team. With more talent at their disposal and playing at home, Southampton have a slight advantage in this match.
As mentioned, a draw is not good for either team. Boro are enjoying a great recent defensive record - they haven't conceded a goal in three matches. However, they will need to expose themselves a little more on the pitch. Southampton, on the other hand, are going through a bit of a slump, with an average of 3.8 goals per game in their last 6 matches. As a result, it's likely to be a game in which both teams will try and get a few goals along the way.
