Middlesbrough have started the season really well, winning four of their opening six matches - including all three of their home matches.
They’ve scored 2+ goals in all three of these home victories, hitting four goals at home against Norwich last time out as they emerged as 4-3 winners.
They take on a Millwall side who have lost four of their last five matches, most recently losing 3-1 on the road to Blackburn. They’ve lost two of their three away games this season, conceding eight goals across these fixtures (2.66 per game).
One of the main reasons for Millwall’s struggles in this period of the campaign is the players they have unavailable due to injury. They will be without the likes of Coburn, De Norre and Crama for this fixture who were all key players last year.
Middlesbrough scored 34 goals across their 23 home matches in the Championship last season (1.47 per game), and their early form this year gives them a strong chance of scoring at least twice here - something they’ve managed in every league game so far.
Millwall are missing key players and their away record has been poor at the start of this campaign, conceding 3+ goals in each of their last two away matches against Blackburn and Southampton.
