Rotherham United host Hull City at the New York Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking for their third straight win.
After going winless in four games, the Millers beat Huddersfield Town and Stoke City in succession to restore some degree of normalcy back into their campaign.
This was also the first pair of victories for new manager Matt Taylor, who replaced Paul Warner after he was sacked last month following just three wins in the opening 12 games.
With 21 points from 14 games, Rotherham are 11th in the league standings, eight places above Hull, despite winning the same number of matches.
The Tigers have lost eight times from their opening 15 games, and following their most recent two losses, overcame Blackpool 3-1 in their last outing.
