    Southampton and Middlesbrough's promotion destiny will be decided when they meet at St Mary's in the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final on Tuesday (20:00 BST).

    The sides played out a goalless draw in the first leg at The Riverside on Saturday and extra-time and penalties may be needed to determine which side progresses to the final at Wembley on 23 May to face either Millwall or Hull City, who play their second leg at The Den on Monday night.

    • Southampton are winless in each of their past five matches in all competitions against Middlesbrough (D3 L2) since doing the league double over them in the Premier League in 2016-17 (1-0 at home, 2-1 away).

    • In all competitions under Tonda Eckert, Southampton have lost only once at home – a 1-2 loss to Hull City in January – winning 13 of the other 18 matches (D5); their past two games at St Mary's have finished 2-2 against Bristol City and Ipswich Town in April.

    • Middlesbrough are unbeaten in each of their past six away games in all competitions, all coming in the Championship (W2 D4), drawing each of their past four on the road, with the past three all ending 2-2.

    • For only the third time in second tier play-off history, both first leg semi-final ties finished goalless, though Middlesbrough's xG in the first leg (1.82) was more than the other three sides combined (1.63).

    • Southampton are aiming to reach the Championship play-off final for the second time, and first time since 2024, earning promotion with a 1-0 win over Leeds United after also finishing that campaign in fourth place.

    • Middlesbrough are looking to reach the Championship play-off final for the first time since losing the 2015 final 2-0 to Norwich City; they've been eliminated in both play-off semi-final appearances since in 2018 and 2023, though drew both of their away legs 0-0 on those occasions.

    • Southampton goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz, made four saves in the first leg against Middlesbrough; in the regular season only Carl Rushworth (7.72) and Radek Vítek (7.15) prevented more goals based on Opta's expected goals model than his 6.48 (18 goals conceded excluding own goals, 24.48 expected goals on target conceded).

    • Middlesbrough's Matt Targett created more chances than anyone else across both first-leg ties of this season's Championship semi-final play-offs (4), all of which came from open play. Indeed, in the regular Championship season, the only defender to create more chances from open play than Targett (44) was Jay Dasilva (46).

    Dael Fry has scored three goals in his 32 Middlesbrough appearances this season

    Middlesbrough captain Dael Fry remains full of confidence ahead of the return leg of the Championship play-off semi-final with Southampton.

    The tie is goalless after the first match at the Riverside in which Boro could not capitalise on an excellent first half display as they peppered the Saints goal with 17 shots to the visitors' zero.

    The match was more even after half-time but Fry has full belief that Kim Hellberg's team can produce what is required at St Mary's on Tuesday night (20:00 BST), as they have only lost one of their last 10 away matches.

    "I'm proud of the lads," the defender told BBC Radio Tees. "I thought we were fantastic.

    "Going there on Tuesday, we're full of confidence. Our away form this season has been really good and I'm fully confident we can go there and get a result."

    There was a special atmosphere at the Riverside, with things fuelled by the spying allegations levelled at Southampton.

    The Boro coach was greeted by thousands of fans as it arrived at the ground, a special moment for local boy Fry.

    "I was blown away," he said. "Today made me proud to be from Teesside.

    "I was welling up on the bus. If anyone had started speaking to me, I think I would have started crying."
