Middlesbrough vs Millwall

The promotion race in the English Championship takes centre stage in Friday’s early kick-off as Middlesbrough welcome Millwall to the Riverside Stadium.

Boro are looking to maintain their momentum and keep the pressure on the league leaders. Millwall, however, could overtake their hosts should they secure all maximum points.

Middlesbrough News

Middlesbrough were initially locked in a title race with Coventry City, but recent slumps have slowed down their ambitions. Their hopes of securing an automatic return to the Premier League for the first time since the 2016-17 season took another hit, following a goalless draw at Blackburn last time out.

Kim Hellberg’s men have lost just twice in their last 10 Championship matches, recording four wins and four draws. They have showcased their attacking firepower in recent weeks, finding the net in seven of their last 10, while keeping four clean sheets.

Boro have also made themselves difficult to beat on their own ground, with only one defeat in their last seven home matches. Three of those games ended in a draw, including a 1-1 stalemate with Bristol City in their last home game. Goals are at a premium in their games, with over 2.5 goals reported in four of their last 10 fixtures.

Millwall News

Millwall are not far off from Middlesbrough, with only a three-point gap between them. They played out a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town in their last match before the international break.

The Lions are currently fourth in the division and have managed the same number of wins (20) as their hosts. They have won six of their last 10 matches across all competitions, but are winless in their last two outings. Their sharp attack has seen them net in each of their last 10 fixtures, managing four shut-outs.

Alex Neil’s side drew their last away game, but have garnered five victories in their last 10 matches on the road. Their games aren’t particularly high-scoring, as over 2.5 goals have appeared in four of their last 10 away matches.

Head to Head

This fixture has witnessed balance across the last 10 meetings between these two sides, with each team claiming four wins and two draws. However, Middlesbrough were 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture in August 2025.

Verdict

Middlesbrough v Millwall

Middlesbrough have scored in seven of their last 10, while Millwall have scored in each of theirs. This makes both teams score a solid pick at the Riverside Stadium.

With all that’s at stake, a tough battle is expected in this tie. Either side played a draw in their last match, and the trend is set to continue. Two of Boro’s last three draws, as well as Millwall’s last game, ended 1-1, a result that could play out again.
