THE PREDICTION
Norwich appear to have got their title charge firmly back on track, with victory over Coventry their second in a row following defeat to automatic promotion rivals Swansea. With key player Emi Buendia at his creative best and Finnish striker Teemu Pukki scoring goals again, the Canaries look an imposing force heading into the business end of the Championship season. Rotherham travel to Carrow Road off the back of a 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth in midweek and such a long trip is sure to have taken a toll on the Millers both physically and mentally. Paul Warne will have no doubt picked his side up since and they will be sure to set up defensively here as they look to soak up pressure from the hosts and hit them either on the counter attack or via a set piece. However, the creative ability of the Norwich midfield, combined with Pukki’s form in front of goal should ultimately overwhelm Rotherham here and lead to a hard-fought three points for Norwich.
