In the previous three games, Rotherham drew 1-1 with Morecambe, lost 2-2 against Blackburn and 2-1 against Sunderland. Rotherham claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Championship. They also drew two and lost two, scored nine goals and conceded nine.
The target for Rotherham this season has to be staying above the relegation zone in order to stay in the Championship.
Leicester City Form
In their last three matches, Leicester City first beat Burton 0-2, then Huddersfield by 0-1 and finally Cardiff by 2-1. In their last six Championship away matches, Leicester City won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn twice and lost none, scoring nine while also conceding three times.
Leicester City will have their sight set on grabbing the trophy, while a place in the top two look a likely prospect before the Championship gets rolling.
Leicester City are in for a win on Saturday, but at New York Stadium we expect Rotherham to put up a fight and limit the expected defeat.
