Match preview

Manager Paul Warne admits his Rotherham side have "ridden their luck" on the road, and that luck may run out at The Riverside.

The Millers are going well but that's thanks to solid home form. Away from home they were battered by Sunderland and unbelievably fortunate to get points at Preston and QPR.

They won't see much of the ball at Boro – they average 15 percent less possession than the home side – and will look to set-plays and pace on the break. Their top scorer is centre-back Richard Wood, a massive threat at corners and free-kicks.

Boro are struggling but looked a real threat during the second half of Tuesday's 3-2 home loss to Cardiff, when they almost completed a rally from three down.

If Wilder persists with two up top they are more of a danger and can win an entertaining contest.
