Prediction: 2-1
Cardiff
Rotherham United will be looking to build on back-to-back wins over Derby and Preston when they take on Cardiff City in the Championship round 23. The Millers quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Swansea City, with the team escaping the relegation zone, but they need to keep on winning if they are to avoid the drop to the Championship. The Bluebirds, on the other hand, did well to beat Bristol City on the road in their last league match, with the team climbing to 14th position in the standings.
Cardiff City aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but given Rotherham United’s current form, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Wales empty-handed. Both Crooks and Michael Smith are pushing for a start, while Ben Wiles returns to contention for the hosts. As for the visitors, Dillon Phillips is going to replace injured first-choice goalkeeper Alex Smithies.

Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
