Match Preview

Two teams gunning for promotion in the third tier do battle in the early kick-off, as table-toppers Rotherham visit playoff-chasing Sheffield Wednesday.

The Millers have won nine of their last 11 league games and have opened up a sizeable gap over Wigan in second, who have two matches in hand.

Sheffield Wednesday beat Wigan in midweek, capping a run of four victories to nil in a row for the side from the Steel City.

Given the stakes this looks likely to be a cagey affair and one goal may be enough to win it.

Rotherham have the best defensive record in the division, conceding just 18 times, while Wednesday have lost only once in 14 home games this season.
