Recommended bet: Middlesbrough to win and both teams to score @ 163/100 with LiveScore Bet
Middlesbrough welcome Millwall to the Riverside on Tuesday evening knowing victory would send them to the top of the Championship.
Kim Hellberg's Boro side have made an impressive start to the campaign, losing just one of their opening six league matches, while Saturday's dramatic 4-3 victory over Norwich extended their winning run at home to four Championship games.
Millwall have endured a more difficult spell after winning their opening two league games.
The Lions have lost three of their last four Championship matches, including Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Blackburn and have conceded 11 goals across their last four league outings.
There should be goals at both ends, with five of Middlesbrough's six league matches producing a goal for each side, while Millwall's last five Championship games have averaged four goals per match.

Team news
Middlesbrough could hand Ashley Phillips a start if Alfie Jones is not risked after picking up a knock against Norwich.
Will Lankshear will lead the line once more, having scored five goals in six Championship appearances, while Sebastian Berhalter is set to continue in midfield after his brace at the weekend.
The visitors have a lengthy injury list, with Casper De Norre, Josh Coburn, Lukas Jensen, Tristan Crama, Alfie Doughty, Mathis Servais, Luke Cundle, Massimo Luongo and Mihailo Ivanovic all sidelined.

Prediction
Middlesbrough have plenty of momentum heading into this fixture and their home record makes them the clear favourites.
They have won their last four games at the Riverside and have found the net nine times in their three home league games so far this campaign.
Lankshear has been a major part of their strong start, with five goals in six Championship appearances and five in five home outings. He will be looking to get back on the scoresheet after being kept out by Norwich despite Boro scoring four.
Millwall should not be written off, however. They have already shown their attacking quality this season and scored four against Bolton. The problem has been at the other end, with 11 goals conceded across their last four league games.
That makes Middlesbrough to win and both teams to score the standout selection. Boro should have enough quality to claim another home victory, but Millwall can contribute to an entertaining contest.
Score prediction: Middlesbrough 3-1 Millwall
