THE PREDICTION
Two successive wins under their belt suggest that Cardiff are aiming to finish the season as strongly as possible, perhaps sending a message ahead of next season. For Rotherham though, their survival comes down to this match. Victory here, combined with Derby failing to beat Sheffield Wednesday would see the Millers stay up avoid yet another Championship relegation. However, Paul Warne’s side have failed to win in seven league matches, accruing just two points over that period. The visitors have no choice but to throw bodies forward here in a bid to pick up those all-important three points, however this will lead to Cardiff being afforded opportunities on the counter attack as they look to take advantage of the extra space afforded to them inside the opposition half. Therefore, both teams to score looks the smart play in this one.
