Rotherham United will host Middlesbrough at the New York Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have endured a near-abysmal campaign and could soon find themselves in the English third tier after a two-season absence. They were beaten 3-0 by league leaders Leicester City last time out and could have no complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.
Rotherham sit rock-bottom in the league table with 13 points from 23 games. They will now be looking to begin picking up important points this week in a bid to avoid the drop.
Middlesbrough are playing well at the moment after a difficult start to the month and are once again pushing for the playoff spots. They picked up a narrow but largely deserved 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in their last match with Morgan Rogers scoring the sole goal of the game late in the first half.
The visitors sit 11th in the Championship standings with 33 points picked up so far. They will be looking to continue their winning streak when they play on Tuesday.
