Rotherham vs Blackburn Prediction
Rotherham's seven-game winless run across competitions has increased the pressure on manager Matt Taylor. Another defeat could see them drop into the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, promotion-chasing Blackburn have a different agenda, as they're firmly in the playoff race, although their recent poor form has made automatic promotion unlikely.
Nevertheless, the Lancashire outfit will fancy their chances of getting the job donne. Blackburn should claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
