Rotherham United will host Coventry City at the New York Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have endured a poor start to their league campaign and currently sit in the drop zone as they head into the second quarter of the season. They played out a 1-1 draw against Southampton last time out, with Jordan Hugill coming off the bench to score a long-range equalizer for the Millers despite their underwhelming display.
Rotherham United sit 23rd in the table with six points from 11 matches. They are just three points above last-placed Sheffield Wednesday and will be looking to widen that gap on Wednesday.
Trending
Coventry City, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season and are falling behind in the race for playoff football. They were beaten 1-0 by Bristol City in their last game and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
The visitors sit 16th in the Championship standings with 15 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally this week.
