Rotherham United will host Sheffield Wednesday at the New York Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have endured a torrid campaign so far and are rapidly running out of time to save their season. They were beaten 2-1 by Queens Park Rangers in their last match, taking the lead after just seven minutes following a Tom Eaves strike before their opponents turned the game on its head in the second half.
Rotherham United sit rock-bottom in the league table with just 19 points from 34 matches and will be desperate to add to that tally this weekend in a bid to exit the drop zone.
Sheffield Wednesday have also had their struggles this season but continue their fight for survival under manager Danny Rohl. They picked up a 2-1 home win over Bristol City last time out, with Ike Ugbo scoring twice in the first half to hand the Owls a largely deserved victory.
The visitors sit a place above their weekend opponents in the table with 32 points and will be looking to continue their winning streak this weekend.
