Rotherham United will welcome Millwall to the New York Stadium for their clash in the Championship on Wednesday night. Their new manager, Neil Redfearn, will be hoping that his men can cause an upset against their opponents with kickoff at 9:45 pm.
The Rotherham United manager, Alan Knill, has left his post as manager of the Championship side. His departure comes after a poor run of form in which they have only picked up one point in their last five games.
They have been doing well this season in spite of that, sitting just below the playoff places, but they have struggled for goals in recent weeks and look to be missing some creativity in midfield. The club has turned to Exeter City manager Matt Taylor to take over until the end of the season.
Given that it is now seven months since they last won a competitive fixture on the road, Millwall will be aiming to secure their first away win of the season when they visit Rotherham United.
Both teams have scored the same number of goals this season, but it is a very different story when it comes to their defensive abilities.
Millwall have leaked more goals than any other team in the Championship so far this season, while Rotherham have the third-best defensive record in the league.

Rotherham United Team News
Lee Peltier was among the coaching staff that ran the Rotherham team at the weekend, but he may not be too far away from returning to the side in his usual playing role. Peter Kioso will remain out though after picking up an injury early in the season against Port Vale.
Millwall Team News
Millwall have a couple of injury concerns, but all of them should be in contention to return over the next few weeks. Two back three players who started the season, Shaun Hutchinson and Ryan Leonard, both have muscular injuries so Charlie Cresswell should continue to fill in alongside Jake Cooper and Murray Wallace.

At this point, it’s unclear what the future holds for Rotherham or new manager Matt Taylor. A draw may be a good result in the circumstances.
