Our prediction for this Championship match:
Rotherham will be aiming to recover from the FA Cup loss to Fulham when they take on Stoke City in the Championship round 27. The Millers are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 18 points in their pocket and, no doubt, they are desperate to get back on course. All Lee Peltier, Grant Hall, Fred Onyedinma, Andre Green, Tyler Blackett, Cameron Humphreys, and Shane Ferguson should miss out with injuries.
The Potters, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous six league matches. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both Rotherham United and Stoke City will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter. Jordan Thompson misses out through suspension, while all Frank Fielding, Enda Stevens, Tyrese Campbell, and Emre Tezgel are sidelined with injuries. In their last encounter at Aesseal New York Stadium the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.

Highlighted Team (Rotherham):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021.
The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League.
Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
