Rotherham will take on Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday, 18 March in a big match for the visitors in the race for promotion from League One.
Wycombe come into the match in third position and trail Wrexham in second place by three points. The Chairboys do have a game on hand on the Welsh club, though, so it's still all to play for with ten games of the season to go.
Rotherham, meanwhile, are in that peculiar position of being too far away from the playoffs to mount a challenge but also too far away from relegation to be looking over their shoulders.

Key Stats

Correct score prediction: Rotherham 1-1 Wycombe
Neither of these two teams have been in great form in recent weeks with Rotherham winning just two of their last nine league games and Wycombe winning just one of their last five. While Wycombe do have a stronger team, their away record is a concern which leans us towards a draw here.

- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%

Rotherham preview: Nearing the end of a disappointing campaign
When Steve Evans returned to Rotherham at the end of last season, the aim would have been to bounce back to the Championship at the first time of asking. Therefore, to find themselves in the middle of League One with ten games to play is disappointing. All that's left for them to play for now, is form ahead of next season.
Predicted lineup: Phillips (GK), Rafferty, Odoffin, Humphreys, James, Kelly, McWilliams, Mpanzu, Powell, Wilks, Nombe

Wycombe preview: Drifting at the most crucial stage of the season
Wycombe have been in and among the automatic promotion positions for the entirety of the 2024/25 season but they are at risk of being cut adrift from Wrexham as the run-in nears its conclusion. One win in five matches isn't the form of a team destined for promotion but there is still time to rescue the situation.

Player to watch: Richard Kone
Richard Kone has arguably been the standout player in League One this season with the 21-year-old outperforming and outscoring Birmingham's Jay Stansfield. The Ivorian striker is the league's top scorer with 17 goals to his name and is expected to be back for this one after missing Wycome's last fixture through illness.
