Rotherham vs Sunderland – Preview, and Prediction
Rotherham vs Sunderland – Sunderland defeated Hull City 1-0 last time out to snap a two-match losing streak. Their victory puts them in sixth place overall.
Before their most recent victory, Rotherham, their opponents, had also had a run of unfavorable results. Despite their previous league game victory (1-0 vs Middlesbrough), they are still at the bottom of the standings.
Sunderland is still in great form, having won three of their last five games. They’ve also had success in the past against Rotherham.
The fact that Rotherham’s most recent triumph was their first in an 11-game winning streak—during which they also suffered seven losses—highlights the team’s problems.
