Middlesbrough form and stats

Middlesbrough have collected 20 points from their Championship home games so far after 5-5-2. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Middlesbrough after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Middlesbrough regulars got no joy from their last game, a FA Cup duel also played here at Riverside Stadium: A 1-5 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion. Akpom, a striker, was the champion performer for the side in that fixture, scoring a rating of 7.41 (out of 10). Akpom scored one goal.

In the game before, an away victory in the Championship match versus Birmingham City with a 3-1 scoreline.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Middlesbrough handle that role? We have found 16 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 10 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

Take note that 9 of the most recent 10 league games from this club have seen goals scored by both sides.

Middlesbrough are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games.

Millwall form and stats

There's been little loot from Millwall's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the Championship. Millwall only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Millwall goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski is eager to challenge this, with his 327 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, a FA Cup home loss versus Sheffield United with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Rotherham United in the Championship.

We have checked recent matches where Millwall have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 4 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

In the opposite end, Millwall have conceded 18 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Millwall have won or drawn the last 4 matches (2-2-0) facing Middlesbrough.

It's not the first time these teams face each other this season, as the records show this recent game: Millwall - Middlesbrough 2-0.
