Recent respective form guides
Tottenham Hotspur's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Spurs have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Middlesbrough's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Boro have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Tottenham see themselves just below half way in the Barclaycard Premiership, showing a record of 11 points from their 9 games played so far, Middlesbrough are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclaycard Premiership with a return of just 7 points from their 9 games thus far.
