Rotherham United Preview – Can Rotherham earn vital win?
A 1-0 win away from home at Derby County handed Wayne Rooney his first defeat as the permanent manager of Derby but also handed Rotherham a vital three points in their quest to avoid relegation from the Championship.
However, despite that win on the weekend, The Millers still sit in the bottom three of the Championship as wins have been hard to come by for the Yorkshire club but they have a decent chance of getting something out of this clash against Stoke City.
An overall home record of 3-2-5 12/12 doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence in a straight win for the hosts but the goals market may appeal as five of Rotherham’s 10 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Stoke City Preview – Can Stoke turn a draw into a win?
A 1-1 draw away from home at Blackburn Rovers saw Stoke City pick up another point but it also became Stoke’s fifth stalemate in seven matches in the Championship which has stalled Stoke’s progress somewhat in the second tier under manager, Michael O’Neill.
Draws with Derby County, QPR, Coventry City, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn along with a 1-0 home win over Blackburn have at least maintained Stoke’s 8th place position in the Championship but each of their last seven matches have also resulted in under 2.5 goals.
On the road, Stoke are unbeaten in their last seven matches, six of which have seen under three goals scored and includes four 0-0 draws!
