Rotherham United host Cardiff City at the AESSEAL New York Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to recover from back-to-back defeats.
After going three games unbeaten in the league, the Millers have lost consecutively to Birmingham City and Preston North End.
This has seen them drop to 20th position in the league table, with 40 points from 37 games, just five clear of the relegation zone.
Another setback at the weekend could push them closer to the bottom three.
Cardiff, meanwhile, have accrued a point fewer than Rotherham and sit a position adrift of them in the standings, while having failed to win their last two league games too.
The Bluebirds were beaten 2-0 by Preston before fighting back from an early deficit in a 1-1 draw with West Brom.

Rotherham United vs Cardiff City Prediction
Both teams have struggled for form this season, having seen a combined 19 wins between them in 74 games. They both sit dangerously close to the relegation zone.
As much as the sides would want to win and put more daylight between them and the bottom three, their acute lack of quality could see Rotherham and Cardiff settle for a share of the spoils.
