Rotherham United’s Form

Get ready for a thrilling test this Saturday as Rotherham United charges into the field with newfound confidence! After a rough run of form post-World Cup, the Millers have been putting in impressive back-to-back performances in their quest to stay in the Championship. With a draw against Luton Town and a 1-0 victory against Saturday's high-flying opponents' thanks to Ben Wiles' goal, the team went into the break on a high. However, their struggles resumed after the break with only one point from four matches. Despite a valiant effort from Conor Washington, the Millers were defeated 4-1 at Portman Road in the FA Cup third round. But, they didn't let that defeat break their spirit and went on to produce a much-needed 4-0 victory against Blackburn Rovers, with Hakeem Odoffin, Oliver Rathbone, Shane Ferguson, and Conor Washington all getting on the scoresheet. They continued their improvement with a commendable 1-1 draw against Watford, with Ferguson scoring the opener. Well-rested after the weekend's break, the Millers are ready to aim for a double against Sheffield United and move even further away from the drop zone.

The Blades are a powerhouse to be reckoned with! Since their loss at home to the Millers in November, they've been unstoppable, cruising through every competition without a single defeat. Their fight for automatic promotion to the Premier League is in full swing, with 19 points earned from 7 league matches since December. The only blip on their record was a 1-1 draw away at QPR, but John Egan came to the rescue to secure a tie. They continued their winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Stoke City and a 1-0 win against Hull City, bringing their total Championship victories to 17. In their latest adventure, they took on fifth-tier Wrexham in the FA Cup, where Oli McBurnie started things off strong but they went behind twice before Egan saved the day with a late equalizer, securing a replay the next week. The Blades are on a mission to secure a top-two finish in the Championship and with a 12-point lead over Middlesbrough and a game in hand, they're well on their way to success.
