Rotherham United will host Cardiff City in an EFL Championship fixture at New York Stadium on Saturday. Both sides were involved in league-fixtures in the mid-week, with the hosts losing 2-1 to Preston North End, while Cardiff played out a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion. As of now, Rotherham are languishing at the 20th spot in the English second tier standings, having collected 40 points from 37 games, five points clear of the drop zone. The visitors, meanwhile, are sitting one place behind the Millers, separated by just a solitary point.

After the 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers on March 4, thanks to Jordan Hugill’s brace and a 90th-minute effort from Hakeem Odoffin, Rotherham suffered two consecutive defeats against Birmingham and Preston. The Millers lost to Preston on Tuesday night, despite the fact that Odoffin got on the score-sheet. Rotherham have recorded nine wins, 13 draws and 15 defeats in the second tier this season so far. With points deduction likely to be imposed on two of the four teams below them, the Millers have a strong chance to ensure their survival.
Cardiff, on the other hand, have the same incentives as Rotherham. The Bluebirds have collected 10 points from their most recent six outings. The latest of those points came against West Brom at Cardiff City Stadium, courtesy of Sory Kaba’s 65th-minute equaliser. Meanwhile Sabri Lamouchi’s side’s away-form is a cause of concern, posting just one win on the road since the World Cup break.
Rotherham Probable line-up: Johansson, Harding, Peltier, Humphreys, Blackett, Odoffin, Coventry, Lindsay, Washington, Hugill, Ferguson
Cardiff City Probable line-up: Allsop, Romeo, Ng, McGuiness, O’Dowda, Ojo, Rinomhota, Wintle, Philogene-Bidace, Kaba, Etete
