Our prediction for this Championship match:
After failing to win the previous four league matches, Rotherham United will look to return to winning ways when they take on Coventry City on Matchday 33. The Millers aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Reading, with the team eyeing their sixth home win of the process, but they face a difficult task against the Sky Blues. All Sean Morrison, Ben Wiles, and Georgie Kelly are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Millwall, but given their four-game losing run on the road, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of picking up more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. As for the visiting side, all Fankaty Dabo, Fabio Tavares, and Callum OHare continue to miss out with injuries.
