Rotherham – Barnsley: 28th January 2017

After a catastrophic start to the season, things move a little further to the home team, but it will be very hard to avoid relegation.
Interim coach Paul Warne Rotherham last position is all but achieved 3 wins in 8 stages so collecting nine points out of 16. It is remarkable that all these successes were recorded “at home” and the last one was even in the previous match. Then the hosts defeated Norwich 2-1.

On the other side, the visiting team is ranked 8th with a total of 41 points, just two lengths away from the playoffs.
Barnsley on a fit going through a good period, losing only one match in the last six stages, during which has registered four wins and a draw.
Although it is very close to the top 6 teams it should be noted that the band led by Paul Heckingbottom has the 3rd worst defense with 41 goals conceded. Another thing that should not be overlooked is that guests have 2nd attack in the league with 46 goals, more even than leader Brighton.
