Tomorrow, on March 29th, Southampton will face Middlesbrough in the 39th round of the Championship. Dailysports has prepared the latest news for you regarding the match, as well as the expected line-ups for both teams.

Due to severe injuries, Southampton has been without forward Ross Stewart and 20-year-old Spanish left-back Juan Larios for an extended period, and it's unlikely they will be able to play again this season.

However, there is good news for Southampton. There is a high probability that their main right-back, Kyle Walker-Peters, and winger Ryan Fraser will return to the squad for this match. Both players have recovered from knee injuries and have resumed training with the team.

Walker-Peters' return may also mean that center-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis could return to his natural position.

Middlesbrough has lost one of their players during the international break. Wing midfielder Riley McGree sustained a minor injury while playing for the Australian national team.

Middlesbrough's head coach is still unable to count on forwards Marcus Forss and Josh Coburn, central midfielder Hayden Hackney, center-back Darragh Lenihan, right-back Tommy Smith, and left-back Alex Bangura.

Southampton currently sits in fourth place going into this match, while Middlesbrough is in 10th place.

Possible Southampton line-up

  • Bazunu – Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Manning – Smallbone, Downes, S. Armstrong – Brooks, Adams, A. Armstrong

Possible Middlesbrough line-up

  • Dieng – Ayling, McNair, Clarke; –Jones, Howson, O'Brien, Engel – Azaz, Greenwood – Latte Lath

The match kicks off at 16:00 CET.
