Rotherham United and Cardiff City renew acquaintances on Thursday evening as they look to record the win which may keep them in the Championship. This fixture initially took place on March 18 before it was abandoned shortly after half time due to a waterlogged pitch, with Cardiff leading 1-0 at the time.
When the two teams met last month, the Millers and Bluebirds held a five and four-point lead over the relegation zone with nine games left, leaving the result of their meeting at the New York Stadium as potentially pivotal.
Cardiff would have felt well on their way to victory when leading at the break, only for the heavens to open in Yorkshire and leave the teams with an unplayable pitch. The EFL eventually ruled that the match would be played in full, a decision which favoured Rotherham more so than Cardiff, and the clubs now do battle with the chance to effectively secure their second-tier status for another 12 months.
If either team prevails on Thursday, they will be all but mathematically safe, a result of their significantly-better goal difference in comparison to 22nd-placed Reading. Rotherham are currently on a four-game winless streak, yet Matt Taylor’s side should not necessarily be judged on accumulating just two points during that period.

Since the previous game, the scenario has changed with each clubs closer to retaining their second-tier status. Both teams will no doubt push for all three points, yet a draw could eventually be accepted by both sides in the second half if the opportunity arises given that it would leave them with a four-point cushion with two matches left.
