Middlesbrough have no fresh injury concerns from Sunday’s loss to QPR as Neil Warnock has a full squad available for selection.
Stat Attack
- Millwall are unbeaten in four of their last five meetings against Middlesbrough (W1, D3, L1).
- Boro have scored in four of their last five trips to The Den (W2, D1, L2).
- Last three meetings have ended in score draws, drawing 2-2 at The Den in August 2018 before last two meetings on Teesside finished 1-1 in January and August 2019.
Prediction
Millwall have been made to work for their points in their last two games and if Boro are solid at the back, I can see another tough shift awaiting the Lions but that first goal could be key as to who wins here.
If Boro get it then I can see them pushing on and finding a second winner but Millwall are again showing strong late season form, which makes me lean towards them scoring first but this time finding a second to clinch the match.
Prediction: Millwall 2-1 Middlesbrough
Result: Millwall 0-2 Middlesbrough
