As noted above, Rotherham were undefeated in 6 previous matches, but they celebrated only 1 victory there. Among their opponents were 17th Blackburn Rovers (they registered a win over them), 19th Wigan Athletic, 20th Millwall, and 21st Reading. Only 10th Hull City and 13th Sheffield Wednesday standout from the list of outsiders. Now Rotherham travel to the 3rd team in the league who they drawed against in the first-term home fixture. Overall, of 18 matches on their soil, Rotherham ended level in 8 and lost 4. As for the outings, 10 of their 17 trips were failing and the other 7 finished in a draw. In the coming visit to Sheffield though, the team can hardly count on a draw at least. The homeside run 2 points behind Leeds United, and they are not keen on increasing this breakaway after the meeting with the outsiders. In front of their own fans, Sheffield won 11 matches of 17. They were victors in 6 consecutive home encounters. Moreover, they kept 5 clean sheets there, though welcomed 7th Derby County and 5th Middlesbrough. Sheffield will probably expand their winning home streak in the coming match against Rotherham.
Prediction for the match: Sheffield United to win home.
