Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hull City will be aiming to put an end to their three-match winless run when they take on Rotherham United in the Championship round 39. The Tigers are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for in the season finale, but they are surely capable of matching the Millers on home soil. Hull’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Ryan Woods, Cyrus Christie, Benjamin Tetteh, Aaron Connolly, Nathan Baxter, and Vaughn Covil.
The visitors, on the other hand, are only four points clear of the relegation, and given their poor away record, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the match. All Oliver Rathbone, Domingos Quina, Grant Hall, Sean Morrison, and Ben Wiles miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Callum Elder):
Callum Elder is an Australia international who plays for Hull City in the League One. Elder started his youth career at Manly United, but in 2011 he was spotted by Leicester City scouts. Despite being a Leicester City player from 2013 to 2019, he did not see any game action with the Foxes in the Premier League.
Callum Elder played for the likes of Mansfield Town, Peterborough United, Brentford, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, and Ipswich Town before signing a three-year contract with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, the pacey left-back has one cap with the Australia U20 team.
Elder’s favourite position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a centre-back as well. Elder wears the No. 3 jersey at Hull City, and he is an athletic full-back who likes getting up and down the left-hand side. The Australian player was born on January 27, 1995.
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.
