Millwall - Middlesbrough predictions

Millwall will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Middlesbrough don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.40 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

Middlesbrough are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Millwall are coming on the back of a surprise upturn in the previous round. The betting odds seemed stacked against them at kick-off, being the away team whose victory was priced at 6.49. They took the lead in the first half, however, and secured a stunning 0:1 victory against Sheffield United .

Middlesbrough’s latest Championship performance against Leeds United can’t be called bad, all things considered. Although The Boro were the home team, their opponents were much stronger and took home a narrow 0:1 win after taking the lead in the first half.

Millwall’s last two away games were marked by a low number of goals – one or less, to be exact. We’ll see if this trend continues for their away games.

We already saw these two teams clash earlier in the season with Middlesbrough winning a solid home win. They’re on foreign grounds this time, but that shouldn’t hinder them too much – most bookmakers online still consider them to be the favourites.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.91 odds offered by 888Sport.
