Rotherham United will host West Bromwich Albion at the New York Stadium on Friday in another round of EFL Championship football. The home side have struggled for results on their return to the Championship and are now fighting for their survival with less than 10 games to play. They held on for a goalless draw against Hull City last time out and could have no complaints after failing to record a shot on target throughout the game.
West Brom have had mixed results this season but remain in the race for the promotion playoffs. They played out a goalless draw against Millwall in their last league outing and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of lacking inventiveness in the final third.
The visitors have picked up 56 points from 38 games this season and sit ninth in the league table. They are five points away from the playoff spots and will be looking to reduce that gap this weekend. For a large part of this current campaign, it looked as if Rotherham would be avoiding another relegation scrap in the Championship, with the club sitting as high as sixth during the opening stages of the season.
Unfortunately for them however, a run of just three wins in their last 16 second-tier matches has seen the Millers dragged right into the survival dogfight – one which supporters have become all too accustomed to over the past six years. Matthew Taylor’s men sit 19th in the Championship standings ahead of the visit of West Brom, two points better off than 22nd-placed Huddersfield Town and seven ahead of bottom-side Wigan Athletic.

Rotherham vs West Brom Prediction
Rotherham are on a three-game winless run, picking up one draw and two defeats in that period. They have, however, won two of their last three home matches and will be hopeful of a result here.
West Brom are on a run of back-to-back draws and are undefeated in their last four games. They have struggled for results on the road of late but should have just enough to come out on top this weekend.
Prediction: Rotherham United 1-2 West Bromwich Albion
