Millwall vs Middlesbrough Prediction: Millwall have slight edge over Middlesbrough

Millwall and Middlesbrough will face each other on Saturday at Den. Millwall has won one of their last nine league games against Middlesbrough. Would Millwall be able to beat Middlesbrough this time?

Millwall's performance looks solid this season at home as they managed (W4, L2) to win 4 out of 6 league games. They just lost two games against QPR (0-2) and Reading (0-1) this season at home.

So far, they have defeated teams like Blackpool (2-1), Cardiff (2-0), Coventry (3-2), and Stoke City (2-0) at home this season. In their six home league games, they scored 9 goals against their visitors and conceded 6 in return.

At away, Millwall is struggling (D2 L4) to find a win this season. With 14 points in 12 games, Millwall is sitting in the 16th position. They have netted 13 goals so far this season and conceded 17 in return.

Charlie Creeswell is the team’s top scorer with 3 goals followed by Jake Cooper (2) and Zian Flemming (2) respectively 2nd and 3rd position. 

Long; Hutchinson, Cooper, Wallace; McNamara, Mitchell, Saville, Burey; Flemming, Vogalsammer; Bradshaw. 

Middlesbrough’s poor away form is a matter (L4 D1) of concern as they didn’t win a single game yet. In their five away league games, they have scored 5 goals against their hosts and conceded 9 in return.

At home, their performance is remarkable (W3 D3 L1) as they managed to win 3 out of 7 league games.

With 13 points in 12 games, they are sitting in the 18th position. They have netted 14 goals so far this season and conceded 16 in return.

Chuba Akpom is the team’s top scorer with 3 goals followed by Matt Crooks (2) and Riley McGree (2) respectively 2nd and 3rd positions.

Steffen; McNair, Fry, Bola; Dijksteel, Hackney, Howson, Giles; Crooks; Akpom, Muniz. 

Beating Millwall would be hard for Middlesbrough as they are winless this season at away. Middlesbrough was also winless (L1 D1) against Millwall in their last two meetings at the den. After analyzing all the facts, we are favoring Millwall to win the game and expecting less than 2.5 goals.
