Our prediction for this Championship match:
Birmingham City will look to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Blackburn Rovers when they welcome Rotherham United to their St. Andrew’s Stadium. The Blues have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Siriki Dembele, who scored a brace in the midweek defeat, will be the man to watch in the home team, while all Alfie Chang, Keshi Anderson, George Hall, and Tyler Roberts remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Millers, on the other hand, continue with their bad habit of struggling on the travels. As Rotherham United conceded nine goals in total in the last two away games, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. All Cafu, Sam Clucas, Andre Green, Tyler Blackett, Cameron Humphreys, and Shane Ferguson are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Team (Rotherham):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021.
The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League.
Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
