Middlesbrough - Millwall

Middlesbrough enter this matchday 6 fixture at Riverside Stadium looking to maintain the momentum from their thrilling 4-3 victory over Norwich City on 12 September 2026. The expected XI, featuring forward duo Will Lankshear and Tommy Conway, will aim to exploit a Millwall side currently navigating a difficult defensive patch. With Middlesbrough having shown resilience in recent Championship outings, including a clean sheet against Queens Park Rangers, they appear well-positioned to challenge a visiting team that has struggled for consistency in recent weeks.

Millwall arrive in the North East following a 3-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers on 12 September 2026 and face significant personnel challenges with Casper de Norre, Josh Coburn, and Lukas Bornhoeft Jensen all sidelined. Their recent form has been volatile, alternating between emphatic wins and heavy losses. In their most recent head-to-head meeting on 3 April 2026, Millwall secured a 2-1 victory, though Middlesbrough will be eager to reverse that result on home turf.
