Millwall, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Rotherham United in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Millwall. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Rotherham United who had 10 attempts and 1 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 10 of their 12 league matches.
They have had a good run of form at The Den recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Birmingham City in their last league game, Middlesbrough will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Birmingham City, who had 13 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Middlesbrough, Chuba Akpom will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Den, The Boro have been unable to break through the Millwall defence and find the back of the net. In their past 5 meetings, Middlesboro's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Lions will have to take their chances when they come.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, Millwall may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 3 matches undefeated against their opponents.
There is only really one injury concern for the Millwall manager Gary Rowett ahead of this clash, with Ryan Leonard (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Rowett a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Without any real injury worries ahead of this clash, Middlesboro manager Leo Percovich will be happy to have a full squad to pick from to help execute his game plan.
