Prediction: 1-1
Millwall
Middlesbrough welcome Millwall to their Riverside Stadium in the Championship round 18. The Boro aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail in Saturday’s clash. Even though all Uche Ikpeazu, Marc Bola, Dael Fry, and Marcus Browne are sidelined with injuries, we predict that Middlesbrough are going to grab something from the match.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to climb to the playoffs berth, but seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Defender Daniel Ballard has joined midfielder George Evans in the recovery room. Under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two teams, and yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards. In their last encounter in the Championship Milwall defeated Middlesbrough 1-0.
