Middlesbrough hosts Rotherham in round 21 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 27th at Riverside Stadium (Middlesbrough)
Middlesbrough is struggling for a chance to return to the elite this season. The Reds are not without ambition. But last season the club finished at the bottom of the standings (only in 17th position). To improve the results, the bosses invited Neil Warnock in the offseason. This specialist was practically unable to prove himself in the Premier League. But he repeatedly climbed there with his teams and is rightfully considered one of the best in the Championship. And now his new charges are really progressing. Yes, Middlesbrough doesn’t have enough resources for leadership in the division. But it is fairly stable among the candidates to take part in the playoffs for the 3rd place. Truth be told, three of the last four matches ended in defeats.

Rotherham usually plays in League One, but at the end of last season, the Millers returned to the Championship. As usual, it is difficult for them in this division. It is noteworthy that the manager remains the same. It is Paul Warne, who played more than 2.5 hundred matches for this team. All his considerable experience doesn't help him much. Rotherham scored only 20 points in 22 matches, and only Sheffield Wednesday and Wycombe have less. But recent results give the Millers some hopes that they will manage to get out of the relegation zone. The outsider was able to play both matches in January at a quite high level. At first, thanks to Lindsay's only goal in the 86th minute, Rotherham won on the field of Derby County. And on January 19, there was a goal shootout with Stoke City - the teams pleased the fans with a 3;3 draw. Will the Millers manage to continue gaining points?
There were only six games between the teams, and Rotherham gained only one victory in them. The Reds managed to win four times, including the last match in May 2019. Now Middlesbrough is seen as the clear favorite of this pair. But the visitors can take advantage of the instability of this club. We dare to assume that Rotherham will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Rotherham to win with +0.5 handicap
