Match preview

Two sides with altogether contrasting season goals in mind are set to lock horns in a Championship clash a the New York Stadium on Saturday, February 4th.

The matchup in question will see Rotherham United act as hosts, in a meeting with high-flying Sheffield United.

Starting with the former, Rotherham, to their credit, have enjoyed a timely return to form over the course of the last couple of weeks.

After finding themselves dragged into the depths of the battle against relegation from England’s 2nd tier owing to a stretch of just one win from 12, the Millers played host to promotion-chasing Blackburn Rovers, widely pencilled in for a 4th successive defeat across all competitions.

Then, last time out, Rotherham followed up with an admittedly less head-turning but nonetheless noteworthy share of the spoils at Watford.

A third positive result on the spin this weekend, in turn, could see Taylor and co. climb as many as eight points clear of the bottom three.

Safe to say, however, that such a result is altogether unlikely to prove a straightforward one to come by.

This comes with upcoming opponents Sheffield United continuing to maintain their status as – alongside Burnley – one of the Championship’s two standout sides.

All told, dating back to November, United have rattled off seven league wins from eight.

The most recent came two weeks ago, when a solitary Daniel Jebbison effort proved enough to guide the Blades beyond a game Hull City at Bramall Lane.

Such stellar efforts mean that Paul Heckingbottom’s men sit a full 12 points clear of the chasing pack in the battle for automatic promotion, looking nailed on for a return to the top-flight of English football.

Though they required a last-gasp equaliser to avoid what would have proven an embarrassing FA Cup exit at the hands of non-league Wrexham last time out, we at 101 are therefore backing Sheffield United to ultimately emerge on the right side of the scoreline come the full-time whistle at the New York Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
