Middlesbrough - Millwall betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Middlesbrough as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Millwall winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

At 4.20 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Millwall are well aware of it themselves.

The latest away win we saw from Middlesbrough came as quite a surprise. They were in a stalemate for most of the first half against Birmingham City , a relatively tough match-up. The second half swung completely in their favour, however, resulting in a decisive 1:3 victory.

Millwall gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Rotherham United, snagging a decisive 3:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

Middlesbrough have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

The lack of home-field advantage doesn’t seem to take the fight out of Millwall. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and are bound to put a fight as they travel to face Middlesbrough.

With a loss to Millwall on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Championship match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

On Saturday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
