Middlesbrough host Millwall at Riverside Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides having similar seasons so far.

Middlesbrough are currently 14th in the table, three points behind their opponents. Chris Wilder's side have faltered of late, having failed to win any of their last three games. They will be looking to bounce back with a win against Millwall this week.

Millwall have been inconsistent this season and have not been able to string together victories. Gary Rowett's side are currently ninth in the table, with a win potentially taking them up to fifth in the league. They will be hoping to climb up the table with a win against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Both sides will want to win the game and that should make Saturday's fixture a well-contested matchup.
