Our prediction for this Championship match:
Ashton Gate Stadium will host Saturday’s clash between Bristol City and Rotherham United. The Robins played out a goalless draw with Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday evening, with the team keeping their second consecutive clean sheet. Bristol City are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Millers. The likes of Adelakun, Baker, Dasilva, and Weimann are all likely to miss the game with injuries.
Rotherham United, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Watford, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Despite failing to convert a penalty in the midweek defeat, Smith should keep his place up front alongside Ladapo. In their last meeting at Ashton Gate Stadium Bristol City defeated Rotherham United 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Nahki Wells):
Born on June 1, 1990 in Hamilton, Bermuda, Nahki Wells is a 170-cm-tall attacker who plays for the Bermuda national team. Wells is a product of Dandy Town Hornets youth academy and he continued playing for the Bermudan side at senior level.
The experienced striker played for the likes of Bermuda Hogges, Eccleshill United and Carlisle United before joining Bradford City in 2011. After spending three seasons at Valley Parade, Nahki Wells signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Huddersfield Town in the winter of 2014. In 2017 he moved to Burnley, but he played for Queens Park Rangers as a loan footballer in the 2018/2019 season.
Speaking of his international career, Wells made his debut for the Bermuda national team in 2007. He scored his first ever goal for Bermuda in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago. The Burnley man will represent the Gombey Warriors at the 2019 Gold Cup.
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.
