THE PREDICTION
An away trip in Championship normally spells doom for Rotherham, who haven’t won on their travels since the opening day of the season. The Millers have lost their last five league games on the road and a daunting task faces Paul Warne’s side here, with Watford welcoming them to Vicarage Road. The Hornets slumped to a desperately disappointing 0-1 loss at home to Cardiff at the weekend and have failed to score now in successive Championship fixtures. With that in mind, the hosts will be expected to fly out of the traps from kickoff, immediately putting the Rotherham defence under severe pressure. Anything other than a Watford victory here would be a huge surprise, with Vladimir Ivic’s men expected to win comfortably and by at least two clear goals.
