Match Time & Date:
1 January 2024
15:00
Prediction: 3-1
Rotherham
Blackburn Rovers will look to put an end to their four-game losing run in the Championship when they take on Rotherham United on Monday afternoon. The Riversiders are desperate to get back on course and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to do so. Defender Dominic Hyam serves a one-game ban, while all Scott Wharton, Tyrhys Dolan, Joe Rankin-Costello, Aynsley Pears, Ryan Hedges, and Sam Gallagher remain in the recovery room.
The Millers, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 17 points on their account. As Rotherham United have been struggling on the travels this term, we believe that the time has come for Blackburn Rovers to return to winning ways in the English second tier. All Lee Peltier, Grant Hall, Andre Green, Fred Onyedinma, Tyler Blackett, Cameron Humphreys, and Shane Ferguson are sidelined with injuries.
