Is Middlesbrough v Southampton on TV? Channel and streaming details for play-off semi-final leg at Riverside
The key TV and streaming details ahead of Middlesbrough v Southampton
Middlesbrough are set to host Southampton for the first of two Championship play-off semi-final meetings between the clubs.
Both clubs harboured ambitions of automatic promotion in the latter stages of the regular season, but had to settle for spots in the top six.
Middlesbrough will host the first leg before visiting St Mary’s for the return leg on Tuesday (May 12). The importance of the game does not need explaining to Middlesbrough fans, who have not seen their side compete in the Premier League for nearly a decade.
"I see it as a big thing for everyone in terms of togetherness,” said Boro boss Kim Hellberg. “And then of course for the players, I think that means everyone understands this is a massive game.
"If you can get up from 95 to 96 per cent - by doing something [you do it]. Sometimes, it's also about putting love and energy into the situation, putting things in together that we are with you. Those emotions can bring out more of your performance, I think."
The winner across two legs will face either Hull City or Millwallin the play-off final at Wembley.
Here are the key TV and streaming details as Hellberg’s Middlesbrough prepare to take on Tonda Eckert’s Saints.
