Our prediction for this Championship match:
Rotherham United and Norwich City square off against each other at Aesseal New York Stadium in the Championship round 20. The Millers aim to put an end to their four-game winless run, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Canaries. Defender Cohen Bramall misses out through suspension after he was sent off in an unlucky loss at Burnley on Wednesday evening, while defender Peter Kioso continues to miss out with injury.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw with QPR, but given Rotherham’s shaky defence, we predict that Teemu Pukki and Co. are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. All Dimitris Giannoulis, Andrew Omobamidele, Adam Idah, Jon Rowe, and Jakob Sorensen are out of contention through injuries for the away side, while Josh Sargent is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Josh Vickers):

A product of Arsenal's youth academy, Josh Vickers, is an English footballer who plays for League One Club Lincoln City. The 6ft 2-inch goalkeeper's first appearance came for Isthmian League outfit Canvey Island having joined them on loan in August 2013. He went on to play over 30 games for the club before returning to Arsenal to sign his first professional contract.
His time at the Gunners was shortlived, however, and involved another loan to Conference South club Concord Rangers before making a permanent switch to Premier League side Swansea City in August 2015 on a two-year contract. In his time at Swansea, Vickers made zero appearances for the first team but did feature in the club's under-18 and under-23 team.
Vickers spent his 2016/2017 season on loan to Barnet, where he made his League One debut against Cambridge United on the 6th of August, 2016. Born on the 1st of December, 1995, the 23-year-old has featured 47 times for his current club Lincoln, on a contract that expires on the 30th of June, 2020.

After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
