Match Preview
Southampton faced a Middlesbrough onslaught at the Riverside Stadium in the first leg, but Daniel Peretz's heroics ensured that the scoreline ended level, despite Boro's 21 attempts.
Tonda Eckert's side will fancy their chances when they return home in midweek. The Saints have won seven and drawn three of their last 10 at St. Mary's Stadium.
Middlesbrough's away record was the third-best in the Championship during the regular season, and they are unbeaten in six on their travels, although each of their last four away games have ended in stalemates.
