Betting advice for Middlesbrough vs. Millwall: Under 2.5

Boro received a slap at the worst possible time, losing to Luton 0 — 1 in the play-off semi-finals despite having the appearance of being an serious contender to return to the Premier League. If Michael Carrick had taken over as manager of the North Yorkshire-based club little earlier, one gets the impression that everything would have been different.

After finishing past in fifth place with 75 points, Middlesbrough will undoubtedly prioritize automatic development under the leadership of the former Manchester United playmaker this period. Fans are pleased with the team’s primary, which includes best scorer Chuba Akpom.

Michael Carrick’s team may be hoping to start the new year properly after finishing the previous word with the third-best house record by winning 46 factors from 23 shells. They have won five Championship games before, drawing two and losing three times in the process.

While Millwall did well in the Championship’s past iteration, they completely failed to make an impression on the final day of the competition. Even a strong two-goal half-time lead( 3-1 ) was insufficient for them to lose to Blackburn Rovers 3 — 4 at the end and lose the championship match.

The London Lions, who finished the season only two points outside of the play-off spots, will try to maintain consistency at crucial moments this moment and, at the very least, finish in the top six. Similar to Boro, Millwall finished the past time poorly, losing three of their last four league games.

Gary Rowett’s team has proven to be difficult to beat in Matchday Ones in recent seasons, with one of them facing Middlesbrough in the 2018 — 19 season in a 2 — 2 draw, despite the fact that Boro enters the competition as the favorites to win.

Without a doubt, the game will be difficult and competitive with two teams with great aspirations, and the possible outcome will likely be low-scoring. Additionally, it should be noted that eight of the last nine sessions have scored fewer than 2.5 goals, which is typical of their head-to-head sessions.
