Bristol City suffered their 16th league-defeat of the season against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night courtesy of James McAtee’s lone goal in the second-half. The Robins have won 13 second tier matches this term and their latest success came away to Stoke City (2-1) on April 7 thanks to second-half efforts from Zak Vyner and Anis Mehmeti. Nigel Pearson’s side are now six points adrift of 13th place, effectively leaving Bristol City to focus on trying to finish as the best of the rest. Meanwhile, the Robins have been pretty solid at home having not lost a league-match at Ashton Gate since the boxing day. On a positive note, Bristol City defeated Rotherham 3-1 in the reverse fixture at New York Stadium in December last year.
Rotherham, on the other hand, twice came from behind to earn a point against league-leaders Burnley thanks to two equalsiers from Vitinho and Georgie Kelly. The Millers have won only one of their last seven games, while losing three times in that period. Their latest success came against West Bromwich Albion on April 7. It was Rotherham’s 10th second tier victory of the season. Matt Taylor’s side have a game in hand over the bottom three and one more win from their remaining four fixtures might be enough to survive in the second tier for one more season. Nevertheless, Rotherham have won just two of their 21 away-matches in the Championship this term.
Bristol City probable starting lineup: O’Leary, Tanner, Vyner, Naismith, Dasilva, King, Scott, Sykes, Weimann, Bell, Conway
Rotherham United probable starting lineup: Hemfrey, Peltier, Humphreys, Wood, Bramall, Coventry, Lindsay, Ogbene, Fosu-Henry, Ferguson, Kelly
