Our prediction for this Championship match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Middlesbrough, Rotherham United will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Sunderland on Matchday 25. The Millers did well to put an end to their four-game losing run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to escape the relegation zone. Daniel Ayala is back from suspension, but all Hall, Onyedinma, Green, Blackett, Humphreys, Ferguson, and Peltier should miss out with injuries.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hull City. Sunderland are more of a team than Rotherham and even though the Millers are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing visitors. The likes of Dennis Cirkin, Jay Matete, Aji Alese, and Corry Evans are injured for the away team.
