Middlesbrough vs Millwall – Match preview and team news
Middlesbrough vs Millwall – Match preview and team news Middlesbrough welcome Millwall to the Riverside Stadium on Good Friday for a monumental encounter that could define the Championship promotion race. The hosts currently occupy second place but trail leaders Coventry City by nine points. Kim Hellberg’s side has hit an unconvincing patch.
They have secured just two wins from their last eight matches. Middlesbrough are also winless in their last four home league games. However, Boro have won four of their last six meetings with the Lions.
They now eye a first league double over the Londoners since 2014-15. Millwall arrive on Teesside in peak form, sitting just two points behind their automatic promotion rivals. Alex Neil’s men have recorded six victories from their last seven Championship fixtures.
Furthermore, the Lions are enjoying a five-game unbeaten run on the road. Historically, they have struggled at this venue. Millwall have won only one of their last nine away league games against Middlesbrough.
Nevertheless, a victory today would see them reach 10 away wins in a second-tier season for the first time since 1988.
