Our prediction for this Championship match:
Norwich City will be aiming to retain top position in the Championship standings when they take on Rotherham United at their Carrow Road. The Canaries head into the match following back-to-back wins over Stoke City and Coventry City, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The likes of Byram, Hugill, and McGovern are all sidelined with injuries, while Stiepermann has been tested positive for coronavirus.
The Millers, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Cardiff City and Bournemouth. Rotherham United recorded three wins in the previous four away games, but Norwich City will pose a much bigger threat for the visitors than their previous rivals. The likes of Lindsay, Mattock, and Ogbene have been struggling with injuries of late, and the trio is unlikely to feature against the Canaries. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Finland international Teemu Pukki, who scored his 14th goal of the season in midweek.
Highlighted Player (Grant Hanley):
Grant Hanley is Scottish footballer who plays for Norwich City as defender. Hanley was born in Dumfries, Scotland, on November 20, 1991 and he started his youth career at Queen of the South. After ending his spells with Crewe Alexandra and Rangers, the Scottish player joined English club Blackburn Rovers, where he started his senior career.
After scoring eight goals in 183 appearances for the Riversiders in league matches, he moved to fellow English club Newcastle United in July, 2016 for an undisclosed fee. Grant Hanley, though, made no more than 10 appearances for Newcastle United in the Championship before joining Norwich City. The 191-cm-tall defender made his full international debut for Scotland against Wales on in May, 2011.
He scored his first goal for the Scotland national football team in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Wales. His contract with Norwich City should expire on June 30, 2021.
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.
