Rotherham

Saturday’s football game between Middlesbrough and Rotherham United will bring down the curtain on day 11 of the new Championship campaign. The Boro suffered yet another disappointing defeat on Tuesday evening, with the team losing to Cardiff City (2-3) on home soil, and, as a result, they sit in the danger zone ahead of the visit of Rotherham.

The Latics aim to build on back-to-back wins over Luton (2-1) and Huddersfield (2-1), and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of Reading. Both Gwion Edwards and Jordan Cousins are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.

Sheffield United

Following a 1-1 draw with Burnley, Preston will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they face promotion-chasing Sheffield United on Matchday 11. The Lilywhites have been playing some low-scoring games in the first half of the season, and given their slim goal-scoring account (3-2), we are unlikely to see goals galore at Deepdale. Ryan Lowe has no fresh injury worr ... Read More...

Saturday’s football game at the Den pits together Millwall and Blackpool, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Championship standings.
