THE PREDICTION
Cardiff are now unbeaten in their last three Championship games under new boss Mick McCarthy after their impressive 0-2 victory away at rivals Bristol City. Here they make the long journey to Yorkshire as they face a Rotherham side enjoying a strong run of form themselves, having won three of their last four league matches to climb out of the bottom three. This is set to prove a physical affair, with neither side expected to give an inch. Whilst Rotherham have home advantage, the Millers won’t find it easy breaking the visitors down. However, when considering that Cardiff are facing such a long trip in midweek just days after their win at Ashton Gate, a match which would surely of taken its toll on them physically, the Bluebirds will likely be happy just to sit back and secure a point to take back to South Wales.
