Cardiff City Preview – Can Bluebirds send Millers down?
Cardiff City extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to five matches last weekend with a resounding 4-0 thrashing of Birmingham City at St Andrews and having earlier collected a 2-1 home win against already relegated Wycombe Wanderers, the Welsh hosts may well also send Rotherham down into League One too.
Cardiff had previously also picked up points in draws with Blackburn Rovers, Reading and Brentford while at home, Cardiff have lost just two of their last nine matches, picking up earlier wins against Coventry City, Preston NE and Derby County in the process.
Cardiff recorded a 2-1 win away at Rotherham in the earlier corresponding fixture this season and their last meeting at home against The Millers resulted in an emphatic 5-0 win for The Bluebirds.
Rotherham United Preview – Can Millers escape?
The only possible way that Rotherham United can save their Championship status is to take all three points at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday and then hope that Derby County either draw or lose at home to Sheffield Wednesday as Rotherham possess a better goal difference than Derby.
However, this may be easier said than done for this Rotherham United outfit who have squandered the opportunity to make up ground in the games that they previously had in hand as The Millers have lost five of their last seven and picked up just two points from the last 21 on offer.
This will have been a huge blow to Rotherham’s morale and confidence and although they’d earlier won five of seven away matches to give them a chance of survival, the visitors have since failed to win any of their last five away from home.
