Middlesbrough hosts Tottenham in the FA Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 1st at Riverside Stadium (Middlesbrough)
Middlesbrough is far from the last club in the Championship. The team has the opportunity to compete for promotion. At the moment, the Red-Whites are in seventh place in the standings. Only a few points separate Chris Wilder’s men from the TOP-6. Middlesbrough has already played two matches in the FA Cup. First, the Red-Whites gained a quite tough victory over Mansfield Town (2-3). Then they played against one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, Manchester United. The regulation and extra time ended in a 1-1 draw, and Middlesbrough was more accurate in the penalty shootout. The last five matches in the FA Cup ended with an exchange of goals scored.

Tottenham recently made a sensation in the Premier League. The Spurs beat one of the strongest teams in Europe, Manchester City (2-3). Thus, they proved that they are in perfect order. In the previous two rounds of the FA Cup, Tottenham also showed itself well. The Lilywhites beat Morecambe and Brighton with a score of 3-1. Their five previous games in the FA Cup ended with Over 3.5 goals scored. In the last five away cup matches, the Spurs gained two victories and two draws and suffered one defeat.
The history of confrontations between Middlesbrough and Tottenham has 95 matches. The Red-Whites gained 34 victories, and the Spurs won 36 times. Middlesbrough scored at least one goal in eight of the last ten home games in the FA Cup. Of course, the Spurs are the favorites of the upcoming game, but I would not be so categorical. Still, Middlesbrough is a quite unyielding team that will surely give battle to Antonio Conte’s men at home. I think that the upcoming game will be quite interesting. Both teams know how to score and periodically make mistakes in defense. We will probably see a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
