THE PREDICTION
Rotherham didn’t face any action at the weekend as their game at home to QPR was postponed due to a frozen pitch. The extra rest time will have likely been welcomed by manager Paul Warne as his side make the long midweek trip to Bournemouth. Since dispensing with Jason Tindall, the Cherries are unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions under interim boss Jonathan Woodgate. Despite having extra rest time leading into this match, getting anything from the Vitality Stadium looks a tall order for Rotherham, with Bournemouth boasting an intimidating squad who look like they’ve found their feet once again since the departure of Tindall. With that in mind, the home side should be favoured here.
