Middlesbrough vs Southampton: the head-to-head

Middlesbrough and Southampton’s recent encounters, all in the Championship since 2023, have been a study in equilibrium. In six meetings, the teams have split the honours with two wins for Middlesbrough, none for Southampton, and four stalemates, a record that underlines how hard it is to separate them. The aggregate scoreline reads 9-4 in favour of Middlesbrough, averaging 2.17 goals per game. Two-thirds of the fixtures (83%) have produced at least two goals, a third (33%) have seen three or more, and in two-thirds of the matches (67%) both sides managed to score. The most recent clash finished 1-1 on 12 May 2026, with Southampton hosting at St Mary's. Middlesbrough have been more effective at home, winning two of three matches, while all three away fixtures ended in draws. Their next meeting is scheduled for 27 November 2026.
