Footymad preview History of the Millwall v Middlesbrough fixture

Middlesbrough face a trip to Millwall at The Den at tea-time on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Boro will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 4 of the 19 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Den was just last season, in September 2012, with Millwall running out comfortable 3 - 1 winners in a Championship match.
