Millwall's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Lions have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Millwall are currently lying in 19th place in npower Championship having mustered a points tally of 31 from their 31 matches played.

Middlesbrough lie just outside the playoff positions in the npower Championship, picking up 50 from their 30 games so far.
