Prediction and betting advice for Rotherham United vs. Coventry City on October 25, 2023

On Wednesday, Rotherham United and Coventry City will play in a second round of the 2023–24 EFL Championship at the New York Stadium.

As the second quarter of the season approaches, the home team finds itself in the drop zone after a dismal start to their league campaign. Despite their lacklustre performance, they played out a 1-1 draw against Southampton last time out, with Jordan Hugill coming off the bench to score a long-range equaliser for the Millers.

Rotherham United has six points from 11 games, good for 23rd place in the standings. They will aim to increase their lead over Sheffield Wednesday, who are currently in last place, by three points on Wednesday.

Coventry City, on the other hand, is losing ground in the battle for postseason football due to their inconsistent play this season. They couldn’t really complain about the outcome of their most recent game, losing 1-0 to Bristol City, as they didn’t manage to get a single shot on goal in the opposition box during the whole contest.

With 15 points gained thus far, the visitors are ranked 16th in the Championship standings and will be aiming to increase their total this week.
