Rotherham United Preview – Can the Millers extend undefeated run?
Rotherham United have had a tough season back in the Championship so far. The Millers are in the relegation zone at the halfway point, collecting just 23 points from 23 games. United have won six, drawn seven and lost 11.
However, Rotherham are beginning to show signs of life. After a 1-0 win at Derby County and a battling 3-3 home draw with Stoke City, the Millers stunned Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough in midweek. Rotherham ran out big 3-0 winners at the Riverside Stadium, with Matt Crooks, Michael Smith and Ryan Giles on the scoresheet in an impressive 3-0 win.
After taking seven points from the last nine on offer, Paul Warne’s men will be desperate to extend their unbeaten run this weekend. Swansea are one of the big hitters in the Championship, but Rotherham will fancy their chances on home soil. The bookies are pricing the home win at 23/10.
Swansea City Preview – Another win for the Welsh side?
Swansea City have had a sensational season so far. Steve Cooper has got his talented team firing on all cylinders, and the Swans look a good bet to go up automatically. After 25 games played, City have picked up 13 wins, drawn eight times and lost just four.
Since a somewhat shock 2-0 defeat at Derby County a week before Christmas, Swansea have stuck back with five wins and two draws from the following seven league and cup matches. After four straight wins in all competitions, City drew 1-1 at home with promotion rivals Brentford in midweek.
