Our prediction for this Championship match:
Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United take on each other at Kirklees Stadium in the Championship round 41. The Terriers produced a poor display in their last league match, with the team losing 7-0 at Norwich City. Huddersfield aim to make amends for the embarrassing defeat, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Millers. All Aarons, Grant, Koroma, Schindler, and Toffolo are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Millers, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back defeats to Millwall and Wycombe. Since Rotherham United have been struggling at the back of late, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Kirklees Stadium. Mattock is injured for the visitors, while Robertson will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In the previous meeting between the two teams at the venue (EFL Cup), Huddersfield defeated Rotherham 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Richard Stearman):
Born in Wolverhampton, England on August 19, 1987 Richard Stearman is a defender who represented the Three Lions at youth level. Stearman has four caps for England U21 team and he played nine games for the under-17 squad as well.
The 191-cm-tall footballer is a product of Leicester City football academy and he made his first-team debut with the club on October 30, 2004 in a goalless draw with Cardiff City. The English defender scored five goals in 211 appearances in the league for the Foxes before joining Wolverhampton in the summer of 2008.
He signed a four-year deal with the Wolves and he made his debut for the club on August 9, 2008 in a 2-2 draw with Plymouth. From 2015 to 2017 he played for Fulham and at the end of the 2016/2017 Championship campaign he joined Sheffield United. Richard Sterman’s main position is centre-back, but he is used as a right-back as well.
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.
