Recent respective form guides

Tottenham Hotspur's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Spurs have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Middlesbrough's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Boro, and 3 goals against.

Tottenham H. find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 13 points from their 14 matches. Middlesbrough sit in a healthy 4th in the league, and have picked up 25 points from their 14 games.
