It's time for our Championship predictions ahead of Millwall vs Middlesbrough this weekend. Boro sit three places and four points clear of Millwall in the table and head into Saturday's clash as the bookmaker's favourite. However, the visitors' busy schedule which involved a game against Chelsea in the League Cup could lead to some tired legs at The Den.

Millwall vs Middlesbrough team news
Millwall
Millwall left it late away at Bristol City but did manage to secure their third league win on the run without counting a single goal. Shaun Hutchinson, in his eighth season with the Lions, scored in stoppage time to send the Millwall fans into hysterics, his first goal of the campaign.
George Saville is suspended for this game and both Wes Harding and Casper De Norre look set to miss out through injury.
Predicted Lineup: Šarkić (GK), Hutchinson, Wallace, Cooper, Norton-Cuffy, Leonard, Honeyman, Flemming, Mitchell, Bradshaw & Watmore
Middlesbrough
Perhaps Middlesbrough had one-eye on their League Cup semi-final first leg against Chelsea when they played host to Coventry City. Despite taking the lead through Josh Coburn just after the half-hour mark, Boro ended up getting beat 3-1 by the Sky Blues and now have a minus goal difference.
Middlesbrough's seemingly growing injury list includes the likes of Matt Crooks, Seny Dieng, Emmanuel Latte Lath, Patrick Mcnair, Hayden Hackney, Marcus Forss, Tom Smith, Darragh Lenihan and Lewis O'Brien.
Predicted Lineup: Glover (GK), Clarke, Fry, Engel, van den Berg, Howson, Barlaser, Greenwood, Jones, Rogers & Coburn

Player to Watch: Tom Bradshaw
Millwall's Welsh striker Tom Bradshaw has played an important role for his team once again this season, both scoring and setting up goals.
The 31-year-old might have only scored four times so far this season compared to his tally of seventeen from the previous campaign, but it is his all-round play that has been impressive. Nobody in the Millwall side has assisted more than Bradshaw this season (3) and we expect the goals to flow for the Welshman in the second half of the season.
