Middlesbrough and Millwall clash at the Riverside Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday. After Neil Warnock’s surprise departure, former Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is the new man in charge of the North Yorkshire club. Can Wilder get off to a winning start over Gary Rowett’s Lions? The London side are in decent form – winning five of their last eight – and will be no pushovers in Sheffield. Take a look at the best betting odds and tips.

Middlesbrough Preview – Can Wilder get off to a winning start?

With Middlesbrough sitting in 14th place with 22 points to their name, Neil Warnock left the club after the last game, despite holding West Bromwich Albion to a draw at The Hawthorns. Boro have won six, drawn four and lost seven of 17.

Before the recent 2-0 home reverse to Birmingham City, Middlesbrough had won three in a row at the Riverside Stadium. However, they were very inconsistent under Warnock, something that Chris Wilder will be hoping to address as soon as possible.

Our betting prediction:

With things so tight in the Championship at present, Middlesbrough are down in 14th but only four points away from the play-off spots. Can Wilder get off to a winning start at the Riverside? The home win is available at 21/20.

Millwall Preview – Can the Lions upset Boro?

Gary Rowett’s Millwall are one of the most unpredictable sides in the Championship these days. Only bottom club Derby County have drawn more games, while they have scored 17 and shipped 17.

Millwall have picked up a handful of wins over the past six weeks or so, getting the better of Bristol City, Barnsley, Sheffield United, Stoke City and Reading. Before the break, though, the London side were held to a 1-1 home draw by Wayne Rooney’s Derby.

The 1-0 loss to Huddersfield Town in their last away fixture was only Millwall’s second away reverse of the season. They were unbeaten in five on the road before then, winning two and drawing three. Can the Lions upset Wilder’s boys in North Yorkshire at the weekend?

 

Middlesbrough vs Millwall Betting Advice

Millwall edged the last meeting between the two, with a Grant Hall own goal giving the Lions a 1-0 home victory back in March. However, when they went head-to-head at the Riverside last December, Middlesbrough eased to a 3-0 win thanks to a Duncan Watmore brace and a Marcus Tavernier effort. The Lions have won just one of the past seven meetings.

 

Key Facts – Middlesbrough vs Millwall Betting Tip

  • Wilder will take charge of his first Boro game this Saturday
  • Millwall have lost just two away league matches this term
  • Middlesbrough have taken nine points from their last four home fixtures

 

This is a tough one to call on paper, as both teams will fancy their chances of picking up all three points. As we touched on, Millwall have drawn seven of their opening 17, and we can see Rowett’s side holding Boro to a draw at the Riverside. The draw and both teams to score is nicely priced at 15/4.

Watmore netted twice in Middlesbrough’s 3-0 win over Millwall last season. The 27-year-old has managed just one Championship goal so far this term, though. Nevertheless, Watmore will want to make an impression on his new boss, and the forward is available at 13/5 to score anytime in this one.
