📋 Team News: Rotherham United

The Rotherham United boss will be grateful not to have any fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this clash with a completely injury-free squad to choose from.

In our view, The Millers will possibly opt for a 5-3-2 formation this time featuring Viktor Johansson, Dexter Lembikisa, Lee Peltier, Sean Morrison, Daniel Ayala, Sebastian Revan, Oliver Rathbone, Christ Tiehi, Cafu, Georgie Kelly and Sam Nombe.

ℹ️ Team News: Leeds United

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there is just a single fitness problem for the Leeds United manager Daniel Farke to be concerned with. Stuart Dallas (Femoral fracture) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that The Whites appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Illan Meslier, Archie Gray, Joe Rodon, Liam Cooper, Júnior Firpo, Ethan Ampadu, Glen Kamara, Daniel James, Joël Piroe, C. Summerville and Georginio Rutter.

💡 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Rotherham United must be fancied to score against this Leeds United outfit, but one goal possibly won’t be enough.

We can see a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for Leeds United after the 90. Should be a good one.
