Seeking to snap their seven-match losing streak, Rotherham United go head-to-head with Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday.
Having suffered a 2-0 loss in October’s reverse fixture, Mark Robins’ men will look to get one over the visitors and return to winning ways in the EFL Championship.
Coventry City suffered a slight blow in their push for a playoff spot as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns last Friday. The Sky Blues have now lost two consecutive Championship matches, with a 5-0 thrashing of amateur side Maidstone United in the FA Cup on February 26 sandwiched between the two defeats.
With 51 points from 35 matches, Coventry are currently ninth in the league standings, five points behind Hull City in the final playoff spot.
Elsewhere, Rotherham United were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend. The Robins have now lost seven games on the bounce and are without a win in their last 12 outings, stretching back a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough on Boxing Day.
With 19 points from 35 matches, Rotherham United are currently rooted to the bottom of the league table, 19 points away from safety with 11 games to go.
