Rotherham vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction :
The pressure on Rotherham manager Matt Taylor has grown as a result of the club’s seven-game losing streak across all competitions. They could fall into the relegation zone if they lose again. Blackburn, on the other hand, is chasing promotion and has a different plan because they are firmly in the playoff race, despite the fact that their recent poor form makes automatic promotion unlikely.
However, the Lancashire group will be optimistic about their chances of landing the job. With goals coming from both ends, Blackburn should win by a small margin.
