Rotherham vs Norwich Prediction

Rotherham Form

Rotherham have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 2-1 by Sunderland, before Leicester ran out 1-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Stoke, who came out 6-1 winners. In their last six Championship matches at home, Rotherham have one win, while they've drawn two and lost three.

While a title race is perhaps a too optimistic a longthrow, a podium finish does not look beyong Norwich, should they manage to catch a strong momentum.

Norwich Form

Norwich are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Millwall got left behind in a 3-1 win, before Huddersfield got hammered in a 0-4 victory. Bristol City was the most recent victim in a 0-1 win for Norwich. Norwich, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn two and lost two in their last six away in the Championship.

Both fans and management alike always expect success in the Championship to be more or less guaranteed for Norwich. They are once again faced with the expectation of a season where the podium is the minimum outcome.

Both Rotherham and Norwich have been firing on all cylinders, while also conceding frequently. We should be in for a very entertaining match with goals aplenty.
