0' In just a few seconds Bet365 Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Stoke City FC and Middlesbrough FC.
5' Stoke City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
10' Poor challenge from Anfernee Dijksteel. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Steven Fletcher made 392 appearances and scored 57 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
25' Middlesbrough FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Neto Borges scoring 2 goals.
30' Stoke City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
35' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Danny Batth on 35 minutes.
40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
50' Middlesbrough FC is showing some good football. However, Middlesbrough FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

70' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Soul Bamba suffering a number of foals already.
71' Fresh legs for Middlesbrough FC! Soul Bamba comes on to replace Matty Crooks.
72' Tommy Smith is having his name booked by the referee on 72.
