Match facts

    Middlesbrough are unbeaten in their past three home Championship encounters with Millwall (W2 D1) since losing 2-1 in April 2014. Millwall have not kept a clean sheet in their past 13 league matches against Middlesbrough since a 1-0 win in November 2010. Only Brentford (one) have had a fewer number of goalscorers in Championship matches this season than Millwall's two of Matt Smith and Jed Wallace. Since Lewis Wing's strike against Luton in their opening game, Middlesbrough have scored with just one of their past 41 shots in the Championship; though the solitary goal against Wigan last time out was enough to pick up their first three points of the season. Britt Assombalonga's past seven league goals for Middlesbrough have been scored in the first half of matches. Millwall's 4-0 defeat by Fulham in their previous match was their largest defeat in the Championship under Neil Harris, and the club's biggest in the competition since a 6-1 thrashing by Norwich City in December 2014.
