Prediction: 2-1
Rotherham
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Blackpool, Watford will look to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive when they take on Rotherham United on Matchday 28. The Hornets are eyeing their eighth home win of the process, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Ismaila Sarr, who sealed the victory against the Seasiders, while all Bacuna, Pedro, Dele-Bashiru, Hause, Kayembe, Gosling, Louza, and Cleverley continue to miss out with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Millers desperately needed a win against Blackburn, and they managed to get one in style (4-0). Rotherham, though, are on a three-game losing run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Slaven Bilic’s troops. The likes of Ben Wiles, Tom Eaves, Georgie Kelly, and Gran Hall remain in the recovery room.

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.
