After suffering a damaging defeat last weekend, Rotherham United will be back in action this Saturday. They currently find themselves in a perilous position in the Championship relegation zone, sitting five points behind safety with only nine points from their first 13 matches. Despite having a game in hand on most of the teams around them, their return from the October international break was postponed, causing them to fall behind. Rotherham United's defense has been a cause for concern this season, conceding 24 goals, with only two other teams having conceded more. Additionally, they have struggled to find the back of the net, with only the bottom two teams scoring fewer goals than their tally of 12. The team managed to secure a crucial 2-0 victory against Coventry City after the postponed game, but their hopes were dashed when they suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. With the team now sitting five points adrift of Huddersfield Town in 21st place, they are eager to improve their form as they face the 23rd placed side on Saturday before their rescheduled game against Ipswich in midweek.

Rotherham United Predicted Lineup

Johansson; Lembikisa, Ayala, Morrison, Bramall; Cafu, Tiehi, Rathbone; Onyedinma, Hugill, Nombe

On Saturday, Queens Park Rangers will visit a team that they hope to surpass in the standings under new management. The team had a difficult start to the 2023-24 season, winning only two games and drawing two out of their first 11 matches. Their losing streak continued in their last two outings, resulting in a coaching change. The team is currently in 23rd place and six points away from safety. Their new manager will aim to turn things around and secure a vital victory to climb above Rotherham and improve their chances of remaining in the league.
