Likewise, along with mustering 10 points from their last four second-tier matchups, it should also be noted that Tuesday’s hosts have scored 10 goals on their four-match unbeaten run.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been an extended rut, Rotherham will know that they face a tough task here. In their opening 19 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, seven draws and seven defeats, scoring 23 and conceding 25 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in 17th and holding just a two-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss at home against Norwich, Rotherham have collected just a single point from any of their last five Championship contests. Likewise, it should also be highlighted that Tuesday’s guests have shipped 12 goals on their five-match winless run. Given the recent gulf in class, we’re backing a home victory here.
