Rotherham United host Coventry City at the New York Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday (February 18), looking to end their four-game winless league run.
After their crushing 4-0 win over Blackburn Rovers a month ago, the Millers drew thrice in a row before going down 2-1 to Reading on Wednesday (February 15). With only 33 points in the bag from 31 games, Matt Taylor's side are down in 20th place in the standings, just three points clear of the relegation zone.
Coventry, meanwhile, have accrued nine more points than Rotherham and sit nine places above them in the points table.
The Sky Blues have won twice in their last four games, including a narrow 1-0 win over Millwall on Wednesday. Viktor Gyokeres scored the only goal of the game in the 67th minute.
They're now looking to win back-to-back league games for the first time since a run of four in November.
