Rotherham United are yet to win since their opening day triumph over Wycombe Wanderers, picking up six points in their first seven league games.
They were humbled against table-toppers Reading in a lacklustre performance at the weekend which ended up seeing them lose 3-0.
Sheffield Wednesday also had a disappointing weekend, falling to a 1-0 home defeat to Luton Town.
They remain at the foot on the table on minus four points having not won at home in the league so far this season.
They have, however, won two games on the road and will hope to make it three on Wednesday.

Rotherham United vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Both teams really need a win with disgruntlement sure to run through the camp for the team that loses, should there be a loser.
Rotherham do have their manager back on the touchline but look like they have a few creases to still iron out whereas the visitors look more assured defensively and have some healthy attacking options.
We expect Sheffield Wednesday to return home from their visit to Rotherham with all three points.
Prediction: Rotherham United 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday
