Millwall travel to the Riverside Stadium today, aiming to secure a vital victory and move into the automatic promotion places.
The Lions have moved into serious contention after a remarkable run of form. Manager Alex Neil has overseen six victories in his last seven fixtures. Consequently, Millwall now sit just two points behind today’s opponents.
They are currently on a five-game unbeaten run on their travels. A win today would mark their tenth away success of the campaign. This would match a club record last achieved during their 1987-88 promotion season.
Millwall team news
Alex Neil is likely to maintain consistency in his starting lineup. The manager may field the same eleven that drew at Ipswich. Accordingly, Tommy Watson and Mihailo Ivanovic will likely start on the bench.
Both players are returning from recent international commitments. Barry Bannan provides an alternative creative option in the midfield if needed. Millwall have won just one of their last nine trips to Middlesbrough.
Max Patterson will start in goal behind a settled defensive line. Jake Cooper and Caleb Taylor will anchor the back four. In midfield, Lewis Cundle and Billy Mitchell will look to stifle Boro’s creativity.
Femi Azeez and Macaulay Langstaff will support Mason Coburn in the final third. Historically, eight of the last ten meetings between these sides have produced under 2.5 goals. The Lions will seek another clinical performance to stun the Riverside faithful today.
