Rotherham vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting tips
Hardly recovered from round 43, the Championship teams are back in action on Easter Monday. Rotherham United fights in-house for the last chance of retention. The almost safe Birmingham City is the opponent.
Rotherham United:
Because competitors Millwall, Wigan Athletic and Reading have been winning quite a few points for several weeks, Rotherham United still has to grab at least four points in the last three rounds to prevent relegation to the League One. Rotherham is in 22nd position in the Championship and is three points behind Millwall (21st). However, the goal difference is a lot worse than that of the London club (-27 to -13), so that three points will not be enough to pass The Lions in the rankings.
Last weekend things just went wrong against Swansea City. Visiting the number twelve in the Championship, The Millers took the lead twice, but it was the home team that eventually took the win (4-3). Although Rotherham did not score points in Wales, Paul Warne was satisfied with what he had seen: “I am naturally very proud of the performance. Swansea is a strong team and that is why it is very unfortunate not to score points here. Unfortunately, this stage of the competition is not about good play, but about the results. Nevertheless, I am proud of the team. ”
Birmingham City:
Three rounds of games before the end of the Championship season, Birmingham City seems to be virtually safe. The lead on upcoming opponent Rotherham United is seven points and in the event of a draw, The Blues are definitively assured of enforcement. A few months ago, virtually nobody expected City to end up in relegation problems. The arch rival of Aston Villa was at the top of the competition and achieved excellent results. Everything changed when an investigation was made into the money problems of The Blues, resulting in a penalty of nine points deducted. Because of that hard demand, it became quite exciting towards the end of the season.
On Saturday, Birmingham City faced Derby County and against Frank Lampard’s team, Garry Monk’s team once again proved to be good for the League One. In a very entertaining duel, with four goals within the first half hour, the promotion candidate was held 2-2. The big man on the side of The Blues was striker Lukas Jutkiewicz. The Englishman with Polish roots was meticulous within two minutes and the entire match was an eyesore for Derby’s defense. The 30-year-old Jutkiewicz is already good for thirteen goals this season, the highest number in his career, and ten assists. Monk: “It is fantastic to work with Jutkiewicz. He is an excellent example for the younger players of the group in terms of having a professional mentality and attitude. He is indispensable for us this season. ”
