Rotherham United vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction: Two teams are bottom of pile

Rotherham United will welcome Sheffield Wednesday at New York Stadium in Game Week 35 of the English Championship. The two teams are bottom of the pile. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Rotherham United is currently facing a challenging situation at the bottom of the Championship with only 12 league games left. Since December, they have struggled to move from the bottom of the table and are now 13 points away from 23rd place and 16 points away from safety. So far this season, they have only earned 19 points in their efforts to stay in the second tier, with their last win on Boxing Day following a 10-game winless streak. Under manager Leam Richardson, they have not won in 10 league games, including six consecutive defeats in February. Despite recent efforts against Southampton, Leeds United, Hull City, and Watford, Rotherham United was unable to secure points against Ipswich Town and Queens Park Rangers. With their survival hopes diminishing, they now face a crucial 12-match period where a drastic improvement is needed in order to stay in the fight against relegation, starting with a win in the South Yorkshire Derby to narrow the gap to 10 points between the teams.

Facing a challenging test, Sheffield Wednesday will aim to secure a second victory over Rotherham United to strengthen their fight for survival. Under the guidance of Danny Rohl, the Owls have shown impressive form in recent months. Their first league win of the season against Rotherham in October was not able to propel them up the table, leaving them at the bottom with only seven points from 18 matches. However, they have made a remarkable turnaround with eight wins and 25 points in their last 16 games, including three wins in their last four matches. After defeating Millwall and Bristol City in their previous two games, Sheffield Wednesday currently sit just three points away from safety with hopes of avoiding relegation. Their upcoming match against Rotherham will be crucial in their quest for survival.

Rotherham lacks momentum and hope in their battle for survival, while Sheffield Wednesday has more quality and determination at the lower end of the Championship. It is likely that Sheffield Wednesday will continue their strong run with a convincing performance against Rotherham, who are struggling.
