Coventry City’s two draws in the last week has seen them slip to 19th and just four points off the drop zone, although they are in a better position now than they were a month ago.
They will not fall into the bottom three with a loss this weekend but a defeat would drag them right back into the threat of relegation.
Rotherham United find themselves in a similar situation, a point and a place lower than their hosts.
The Millers have not won in four games and will be desperate not to make it five.
Coventry City vs Rotherham United Head-to-head

Coventry have overcome their opponents 11 times in their history, drawing seven times and losing the other eight.

Coventry City vs Rotherham United Prediction
Coventry have proved already this season that they can turn on the heat when required and that certainly may be necessary in this fixture against Rotherham United.
The visitors have a point of their own to prove but the hosts should be able to fend off their threat, even if they have conceded the most goals in the league so far (25). We expect Coventry City to outmuscle Rotherham United for the win when all is said and done.
Prediction: Coventry City 2-1 Rotherham United
