Our prediction for this Championship match:
Queens Park Rangers will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bristol City when they face Rotherham United in the Championship round 34. The Hoops quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Stoke City and a triumph over Rotherham should see them escape the relegation zone. Barring any fresh injury worries, Marti Cifuentes is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Robins.
The Millers, on the other hand, are with one foot in the League One, with the team sitting in the ultimate position with only 19 points on their account. Given Rotherham’s dreadful away record, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. Further complicating matters for the visiting side, Oliver Rathbone suffered an injury in a 4-3 loss to promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town in a postponed fixture.
