Rotherham vs QPR Prediction
Rotherham United will face a direct relegation rival for a consecutive game and will be hoping that they can put out an improved performance to their showing in Sheffield last weekend. The Millers have tended to do better at home compared to ontheir travels and are unbeaten in their last four games here against QPR.
The visitors are the most out-of-form team in the league at the moment, having lost their last six games on the bounce. They were valiant in defeat to high-flying Leicester City last weekend. But that was not enough to stop the club's management from pulling the rug under Gareth Ainsworth.
New manager Marti Cifuentes will be aiming to keep the R's in the league, starting with this game. Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the two teams to cancel each other out.
