Rotherham host Norwich in the 5th round of the Championship at Aesseal New York Stadium (Rotherham) on Saturday, October 17 and the match kicks off at 3pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
After four rounds in the league Rotherham are in 12th place in the table with 5 points from a win against Wycombe on the opening day (0-1) and two identical 1-1 draws against Birmingham and Huddersfield before the international brake. Their only defeat of the campaign so far came at the hands of Millwall in the second round (0-1). As for Norwich, after four rounds the Canaries are in 16th place with only 4 points after winning their season opener away at Huddersfield (0-1), drawing against Preston next (2-2) and losing twice in a row to Bournemouth (1-0) and Derby County (0-1) most recently.
MATCH ANALYSIS
Rotherham accept that relegation battle is on their hands, but the manager Paul Warne knows how to get the most out of his group of players. Unlike other, richer clubs who have suffered financially due to the pandemic. Rotherham haven't had a big budget in comparison to other championship sides in the first place, and the lack of expectation for this season may just played into their hands. The Millers should be satisfied with their form at the start of the season, but the manner in which they lost whole three points in two consecutive matches will leave them frustrated.
First Jeremie Bela's late penalty earned Birmingham a draw after a dramatic finish saw Rotherham take an 87th-minute lead with a spot-kick of their own, and then a 96th-minute own-goal saw Huddersfield rescue a dramatic late point against Yorkshire rivals to compound their misery. Rotherham haven't score more than one goal in a match so far and it cost them precious points without which their outlook is totally different. They have been dealt another blow as their winger Chiedozie Ogbene is set to be out of action for four months following knee surgery.
The Canaries, with a core of the side that won the automatic promotion two seasons ago still intact, along with some new signings like striker Jordan Hugill, Spanish defender Xavi Quintilla and Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp, should be able to fight for the title again. It is a long campaign, but the club is settled and manager Daniel Farke has really stamped his authority at the club. However, after losing two matches on the trot, their plans to immediately return to the Premier League might be put in jeopardy.
Before the Bournemouth defeat in the third round Norwich was dealt a blow after midfielder Kieran Dowel was confirmed to miss most of the 2020 due to injury in only his third appearance for the club after a summer move from Everton. The Cherries defeated Norwich by a solitary goal which was followed by a surprising defeat to Derby County at home before the international break. The Canaries - who agreed to let defender Ben Godfrey leave for £25m to Everton - have now failed to score in 14 of their past 18 league matches.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
