Rotherham United vs Norwich City tips

This is a vital game for both teams but for differing reasons. Norwich City hung on for a 3-2 home win over Hull City on Wednesday evening and are two points clear at the top of the Championship. It looked like being an easier night for the Canaries after taking an early 2-0 lead but they still got the three points and their fifth straight league win. 14 goals have been scored in those five games and Norwich have now scored 75 league goals for the season. This game at Rotherham is a key one for them, as second-placed Leeds United host Sheffield United who are third just hours before this game. Norwich would love a draw in that match but a Leeds win would give them the chance to win at Rotherham and go seven points clear of third spot. Away from home, City have only lost one of their last 16 league games and that was way back in August.
Rotherham United are 22nd in the table and in the bottom three. They won 2-1 at QPR on Wednesday and are only in the bottom three on goal difference from Wigan Athletic. It took a 95th minute goal to get them that vital win, their second in three league games. Only one of their last five home league games have been won and Rotherham have conceded 59 league goals this season. Only bottom-of-the-table Ipswich Town have conceded more (61) but that might change after this game. Go for Norwich to get the away win.
