Millwall vs Middlesbrough

Millwall have lost just one of their last five home league games against Middlesbrough (W3 D1), keeping four clean sheets in the process.

Middlesbrough have won three of their last five league games against Millwall (L2), as many as in their prior 11 encounters (D5 L3).  

Following their 2-1 win at Norwich on MD1, Millwall will be looking to start a league campaign with back-to-back wins for the first time since 2014-15 in the Championship.

Middlesbrough beat Swansea 2-1 at home on MD1, but haven’t started a league campaign with consecutive wins since 1994-95 in the second tier.

On his Millwall debut last weekend, Alfie Doughty played 18 passes into the opposition’s penalty area – the most of any player on MD1 in the Championship.
