Middlesbrough apprehended alleged spy last weekSaints may claim that the offender was an internMiddlesbrough have been approached by fellow Championship clubs who harbour suspicions that their pre-match training sessions may also have been spied on by Southampton.The English Football League has charged the south-coast club with misconduct after a member of Tonda Eckert’s backroom was allegedly caught breaching regulations by filming and making audio recordings of one of Kim Hellberg’s final practice sessions before his Middlesbrough side faced Eckert’s Southampton in Saturday’s playoff semi-final first leg at the Riverside Stadium. As Hellberg prepares his players for Tuesday’s second leg at St Mary’s Stadium with the score goalless, Championship rivals are understood to be examining any available CCTV training-ground footage from recent weeks.

Southampton boss Tonda Eckert stormed out of a cranky post-match press conference after refusing to answer questions on the ‘spygate’ controversy. Saints were charged with breaching EFL regulations after a member of staff was alleged to have spied on Middlesbrough training ahead of Saturday’s Championship play-off semi-final first leg. Southampton manager Tonda Eckert walked out of his post-match press conference on SaturdayGetty Staff members at the Teesside club are believed to have spotted a man taking pictures and videos of the session. The man in question was asked to delete his footage before he quickly fled to another part of the training complex. Eckert was challenged on the matter following Saturday’s goalless draw at the Riverside Stadium but refused to answer any questions that went beyond the club’s official statement. Southampton’s press officer intervened to tell reporters that the only questions they will be answering will be on Tuesday’s second leg at St Mary’s. But, when the next ‘spygate’ question was asked, Eckert and the press officer walked out of the press conference together. Speaking after the full-time whistle, Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg was damnign in his assessment of the controversy. “I couldn’t believe my eyes or ears. Couldn’t believe it when I was told a second time, or third,” the Swede told Sky Sports. “It’s quite clear that they – and I don’t mean the players or fans of Southampton – I think they are brilliant and gave nothing to do with it. But, someone has made a decision to cheat. “We were trying to focus on the session as much as we could, we had an important game. “I’ve seen some saying it’s not a big advantage but it is. Take today for example. Middlesbrough’s fans made their feelings towards Southampton felt before the matchGetty Boro’ boss Kim Hellberg expressed his annoyance at Southampton’s alleged anticsGetty “We have never used that first-half shape before, that was impossible to know. It’s just unfair, and I think everyone in this room agrees. “I feel anger, but there has to be respect too between each other that they have totally failed in. “I think it’s disappointing because it’s a big game. They tried to get an advantage in an unfair way.” He continued: “Who would get the fine? Should they pay it to the EFL? Okay. “So they see everything we do, and…we will see what happens, I don’t know. I just think it’s weird they try to cheat in this type of game. “Didn’t [Marcelo] Bielsa pay £200,000 when it wasn’t a law? I think a lot of clubs would pay that amount to try and get the advantage two days before a game. “You don’t do this, you don’t plan to do this. Every team in the Championship should be angry. It is wrong, it is wrong.”

Middlesbrough and Southampton lock horns in the Championship play off final first-leg at the Riverside on Saturday lunchtime. Middlesbrough vs Southampton best bets Under 2.5 goals in the game/BTTS (Yes) – 5/1 with bet365 Ryan Manning to score or assist – 7/2 with Betfred Goal before 31:00 – 5/6 with bet365 Middlesbrough vs Southampton head to head overview Date: Saturday, 9th May 2026 Kick-off: 12:30PM Venue: Riverside Stadium Where to watch: Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Football, Sky Sports Ultra HD Referee: Farai Hallam Last meeting: Middlesbrough 4-0 Southampton Last 10 matches: Middlesbrough 3 wins, Southampton 4 wins, 3 draws Favourite to win: Middlesbrough – 5/4 with Betfred Middlesbrough vs Southampton predicted lineups Middlesbrough expected lineup (3-4-2-1): Brynn; Malanda, Fry, Ayling; Targett, Morris, Browne, Brittain; Conway, Whittaker; Conway Southampton expected lineup (4-2-3-1): Peretz; Manning, Wood, Harwood-Bellis, Bree; Downes, Bragg; Scienza, Azaz, Fellows; Stewart Middlesbrough vs Southampton predictions Middlesbrough may have thrashed Southampton 4-0 last time they played each other in the regular season. But that was before the Saints’ remontada took place later in 2006 under manager Tonda Eckert. Southampton arrive into their playoff campaign having lost just once (in the FA Cup semi final to Manchester City) in 20 matches. It must count for something with the players forgetting what it feels like to lose in the league, even if the gaffer says otherwise; “I don’t care, it doesn’t make a difference. Eckert admitted. “No one cares in the end if we make it all the way and you don’t make the last step. We need to make the last step.” Southampton’s fourth place finish ensures they have the second-leg at home, which may prove crucial over the course of the tie. Ironically the last time the South Coast side failed to score in any competition was the 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Boro in January. As for the Boro, it was in the winter that Kim Hellberg had his side on a roll and looked to be taking a stranglehold on the top two. They had they only spent one week outside the top two between mid-August and mid-March, but while automatic promotion might have been the ambition for the majority of the campaign. Hellberg insists there should be no disappointment at ending up in the play-offs. “It’s difficult to sum up the season with three more games to play [if they make the final],” he said. “But in general, we’ve done good. We’ve been fighting all season. We weren’t good enough [to finish in the top two], but we weren’t far away. Boro’s form nosedived in March and April but after a 1-0 home loss to relegation-threatened Portsmouth, they managed to steady to ship and go unbeaten for the rest of the season to ensure they ended up in fifth position. This match will be two teams who play front-footed attacking football which should make it for a enthralling encounter.

The full back has been a key contributor, especially in the run in, where he scored and assisted against Ipswich. Four of his eight goals have come from direct free kicks and you wouldn’t back against another one going in on Saturday. Early goal the order of the day Both teams like to play out and build from the back early, which can lead to quick transitions if possession is lost. Southampton especially tend to start games proactively rather than cautiously Middlesbrough at home often push early to control tempo.
