Middlesbrough boss Tony Pulis has called on the club's supporters to make Saturday's Championship clash with Millwall at the Riverside Stadium "a cup tie atmosphere".

Boro will book their spot in the playoffs with a match to spare if they avoid defeat against a Millwall team who are currently two points outside of the top six.

Pulis has insisted that the club's fans have a key role to play on Saturday afternoon.

"It's important that the supporters turn up tomorrow and make it a cup tie atmosphere," Pulis told reporters.

"They've been absolutely fantastic ever since I came into the football club and they were great away to Derby [County] last week. But we need that at home tomorrow.

"The big thing for me is that the players turn up tomorrow and give the best that they can."

Middlesbrough have won 13 of their 22 home Championship matches this season - drawing three times and suffering six defeats, which is the fifth-best home record in the second tier.
