Rotherham United welcome the visitors Aston Villa in the English Championship – Round 41. The match will be held on Wednesday, April, 10th, at the Aesseal New York Stadium (Rotherham).
The Championship newcomers Rotherham United did not solidify their placement in the division and have every chance to relegate to the League One. 40 rounds held, the hosts top the outsiders’ trio. That said, they are only 1 point off the safe 21st tier, whereas managing this gap in 6 remaining rounds will be tough. The gap will most likely increase after the coming clash with Aston Villa.

Featuring a 6-match winning streak, the ‘Villans’ made their fans hope that they will probably compete in playoffs, same as they did last season. Before, Aston Villa even found themselves below top-ten. Now the side sit 5th in the table. Indeed, they surpass the seventh-placed Derby County just by 3 points, but given their performance, Villa will manage to keep the handicap. Tellingly, 1 of the mentioned 6 victories the team attained against the Derby (4:0).
The Wednesday opponents are poles apart. They deal with different tasks: the hosts need to stay in the league, the guests need to leave it. There is no point in comparing the squads. Aston Villa feature Premiere League’s level – they competed in the elite division yet 3 seasons back. Rotherham’s level falls above the Championship. In the first-term encounter held in Birmingham, Villa registered a 2:0 victory. Feeling ambitious and realizing that 3-point handicap does not secure anything, the ‘Villans’ will probably win tomorrow either. The opponents met 4 times. The guests on the day celebrated 4 wins, played ‘to nil’, and scored 10 goals there.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win away.
