Rotherham United Preview – Can Millers make up ground?
Although they’ve had games in hand and will be playing a third home match on the trot on Wednesday night, Rotherham United have thus far failed to make these games in hand count as The Millers have lost their last two home matches on the trot.
Recent and significant losses to relegation rivals, Coventry City and Birmingham City, both by 1-0 margins, have been a bitter blow to Rotherham who still trail fourth from bottom Derby County by a four-point margin but a win on Wednesday night would move them to within a point of the struggling Rams.
With just three wins out of their last 14 matches overall, only one of which has been registered at their New York Stadium, the odds seem stacked against Rotherham for a straight win here, especially as they’ve lost seven of their last eight at home.
Middlesbrough Preview – Can Boro finish on a high?
Middlesbrough’s hopes for a play-off spot in this season’s Championship campaign have well and truly flown out the window as Boro have lost four of their last five matches which has seen Middlesbrough’s season fizzle out in disappointing fashion.
Middlesbrough had seemingly been closing in on a possible top six finish around Christmas and New Year as the visitors had picked up four wins in five matches but just six wins from their subsequent 20 matches thereafter have done the damage for Neil Warnock’s side.
Boro have also lost their last four away matches on the trot with losses incurred at Swansea City, Millwall, Bournemouth and Barnsley and they’ve won five of the previous eight meetings against Rotherham United.
