THE PREDICTION
After picking up seven points from a possible nine heading into their game vs high flying Swansea, Rotherham’s good recent run finally came to halt as they were beaten 1-3 by a very strong promotion chasing side. They’ll be hoping to bounce back against Derby in what is a crucial game in the Championship relegation battle. After Derby’s win over Bristol City at the weekend they now sit five points clear of 23rd placed Rotherham with some breathing room between them and the bottom three. This is likely to prove a tense encounter short of action, especially with Derby’s last five games seeing just a single goal in each match. Under 2.5 goals scored is expected, however the loss of Krystian Bielik to injury at the weekend is a huge one for the Rams and could give Rotherham the edge. With home advantage in their favour, the Millers draw no bet should also be considered.
