THE PREDICTION
Sheffield Wednesday sit bottom of the Championship and still remain four points away from clearing their 15-point deduction that was applied at the start of the season. After losing to Luton at the weekend it is vital that they get something from this South Yorkshire derby against a Rotherham side winless since the opening day of the season. With both teams likely to set up cautiously in such an important game, this could lead to a lack of clear-cut chances and little in the way of goalmouth action. Under 2.5 goals looks likely and should either side come out on top, we’d expect it to be via a single goal.
