Middlesbrough vs Millwall Prediction and Betting Tips | 14th December, 2024

Middlesbrough take on Millwall in the 21st round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two teams are in opposite halves of the points table.

Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough are fresh off a 3-1 loss at Leeds United in midweek. Wilfried Gnonto's 14th-minute opener for the hosts was canceled out by Maximilian Wober, who put one through his own net 40 minutes later.

Leeds, though, were back in the ascendancy when Daniel James put them in front 16 minutes from time before Brenden Aaronson confirmed the three points at the death. The loss means Carrick's side slipped to seventh in the standings, with 31 points from 20 games, winning nine.

Meanwhile, Neil Harris' Millwall are coming off a 1-0 home loss to leaders Sheffield United in midweek. Rhian Brewster's 42nd-minute strike was the difference between the two points. The defeat - their second on the trot - dropped the Lions to 13th in the points table, with 25 points from 19 games, winning six.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Middlesbrough-Millwall Championship game at the Riverside.

Middlesbrough vs Millwall prediction

Both sides have had inconsistent campaigns, especially Millwall, who are winless in five league games. Boro, meanwhile, haven't covered themselves in much glory either.

Carrick's side hold a narrow head-to-head advantage, but their home form has been patchy - alternating wins and losses in their last six home outings. However, they have lost just one of their last eight league meetings with Luton, winning four.

With Millwall going winless in five games and winning only two of their 11 road games across competitions this season, Boro should emerge victorious.

Prediction: Middlesbrough 2-1 Millwall
