The Millwall goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 272 minutes without conceding a goal in the Championship.

The Millwall manager Rowett and his pawns return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Blackburn Rovers (placed 4th). Cooper was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.65 out of 10. The defender Cooper won 7 of 13 duels.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Reading and winning 1-0.

Middlesbrough form and stats

There's been little loot from Middlesbrough's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 17 away games in the Championship. Middlesbrough only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Wilder, the Middlesbrough manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Two away games in a row for Middlesbrough, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 versus Sheffield United. Midfielder Jones was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 6.85. Jones hit one key pass.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Luton Town.

Middlesbrough have another game that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a Championship match against Birmingham City. A grim itinerary for the guests!

Middlesbrough have conceded 24 goals in these away matches.
