Southampton vs Middlesbrough: match facts, form and head-to-head – 27 November 2026, Championship

Southampton host Middlesbrough in what promises to be a tightly contested clash at St Mary’s Stadium, with the Saints perched just one point above the visitors in second place (14 points from four wins, two draws and a single loss, boasting a 18‑8 goal difference). Middlesbrough sit fifth on 13 points, also from four victories but with one fewer draw and the same number of defeats, and a narrower 12‑8 margin. Both sides have been prolific at home and away respectively, and the narrow gap in points and goal difference suggests a battle that could see the Saints look to extend their lead at the summit while the mid‑table Boro aim to close the gap and climb back into the European spots.
