New boys set for a stalemate in Championship opener
Wycombe vs Rotherham - 12/09/2020
2853
On Saturday afternoon, promoted pair Wycombe and Rotherham go head-to-head at Adams Park in the Championship.
It will be a historic game for the home side, as they will be appearing in the second tier for the first time in the club's long history. A 2-1 win over Oxford United in the play-offs sealed Wanderers place in the Championship.
Gareth Ainsworth’s team have played just two pre-season friendlies ahead of the start of the campaign. They have also already suffered an exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of fellow Championship side Brentford.
Wycombe achieved promotion despite League One being curtailed due to the global pandemic, winning five of their last six games to seal their spot in the Championship.
They finished the campaign with a strong run of form at Adams Park, winning four of their final six home games while losing just one of their final seven League One matches.
Unlike their hosts, Rotherham have some history in the Championship, as they were last in the Championship in the 2018/19 campaign. The Millers spent just one season back in the third tier before winning promotion last season.
The visitor's secured promotion to the second tier despite a poor end to the campaign, as Rotherham won just once in their final six league games of the season.
Paul Warne’s team will certainly have to improve their previous record in the second tier if they are going to extend their time in the Championship. The Yorkshire team lost their last four league games in their previous stint in the second tier.
One big factor in the visitor's relegation last time out in the Championship was poor away form. In fact, Rotherham have won just one of their last 48 matches on their travels in the second tier.
Forebet predicts that this game will finish honours even, with the two teams taking a point apiece.
