West Bromwich Albion vs Rotherham United Tips and Prediction
When West Brom only managed two victories before the start of November, it was believed that their chances of earning promotion were gone. However, under Carlos Corberan, the Baggies have shown that this may not have been the case.
After posting just two wins in their previous 17 games, West Brom has since won four straight matches. Their most recent victory came on Monday night at the Stadium of Light when they overcame a deficit to defeat Sunderland by a score of 2-1.
Corberan will be pleased that his team has already shown its spirit to prevail in closely contested games, even though the West Midlands team has only scored six goals in the four games.
There is no room for complacency because West Brom are still only two points above the relegation zone, but they will believe that closing the eight-point deficit to the playoffs is easily doable given that they still have a game in hand.
Since Matt Taylor took over for Paul Warne as manager, Rotherham have become more unreliable at a time when West Brom are clearly on the rise.
The Millers have suffered five consecutive defeats in their previous eight second-tier games, with their most recent loss being at home to Bristol City by a score.
That matchup would have been seen as the ideal opportunity to return competitive play, but Rotherham instead suffered their third straight defeat at the New York Stadium.
Rotherham traveled before the World Cup and picked up four points against Sheffield United and Luton Town, despite having one of the poorest away records in the division.
Conclusion
The Millers are playing this game at the wrong time, despite the fact that Rotherham is still likely punching above their weight this season. We anticipate that their hosts will continue to efficiently accumulate points over the weekend.
