Millwall face Middlesbrough in a Good Friday showdown where victory could propel them into second place and tighten the Championship promotion race. Currently four points behind Boro in second, Millwall need a win at the Riverside to keep their top-two hopes alive. Manager Alex Neil dismisses underdog narratives, emphasizing his team's competitiveness despite their lower budget.

Millwall's recent form has been impressive, with Josh Coburn scoring four times in his last four games since returning from injury. Coburn, a club-record signing from Boro last summer, faces his former club for the first time. Middlesbrough, however, have struggled recently, winless in three matches and scoring just two goals in four games at the Riverside despite numerous shots.

Former Boro defender Tommy Smith urges perspective, reminding fans that Boro are still second after 39 games. Millwall's promotion odds stand at 14.4%, but a Riverside win could significantly shift the landscape. This match represents a pivotal moment for both clubs' season ambitions.
