Rotherham vs Norwich predictions: Free-scoring Canaries to ease past struggling Millers
&w=707&quality=100)
- Norwich have the best attack in the Championship, having netted 13 times
- Rotherham have the worst defence in the division, conceding 10 goals
- Recommended bet: Norwich to Win and Over 2.5 Total Goals
Norwich will be looking to maintain their strong start to the Championship season when making the trip to Rotherham on Saturday afternoon.
The Canaries have made an unbeaten start to the campaign to leave themselves second in the table on 10 points and they look to have a great chance of extending that run against Rotherham.
Matt Taylor's side have picked up just one point from their first four matches, leaving the club just one place above the bottom three, and another season fighting against relegation appears to be on the cards.
Team news
&w=707&quality=100)
Rotherham have a number of first-team players on the sidelines, with Shane Ferguson, Grant Hall, Jamie Lindsay and Lee Peltier are all absent through injury.
Norwich will be without American forward Josh Sargent for "months" due to a "serious" ankle injury, with his place expected to be taken by Adam Idah.
Grant Hanley, Onel Hernandez, Borja Sainz, Jacob Lungi Sorensen and Jonathan Tomkinson are all unavailable due to injury.
The stats
Norwich have scored a league-high 13 goals, recording 2-1, 3-1 and 4-0 victories while also taking a share of the spoils in a thrilling 4-4 draw with Southampton.
Jonathan Rowe has accounted for four of those goals, as he sits joint-top of the Golden Boot chart, and he is looking to score for a fifth-straight Championship game this weekend.
Rotherham have the worst defence in the league, conceding 10 times, while they were also thrashed 6-1 by Stoke in the Carabao Cup last time out.
The Millers have yet to win a game in 90 minutes this season, having required penalties to overcome Morecambe in the cup, and they have just one win from their last six home league fixtures.
Prediction
Rotherham are in dire straits at this early stage of the season and the thumping at the hands of Stoke prior to this contest once again highlighted the side's defensive deficiencies.
One crumb of comfort for the Millers is the fact they are still offering a threat going forward, as they have scored in all six of their matches across all competitions this term, but the issues at the back outweigh the good work going forward.
The league's leakiest defence hosting the most potent attack can only mean one thing in this game, and that is goals.
Although Norwich are without Sargent for the foreseeable future, they still have the likes of Ashley Barnes, Idah and Rowe in their ranks and that trio have been in good scoring touch.
All three of the Canaries' league victories have seen over 2.5 goals, while they were also involved in that entertaining 4-4 with Southampton, and the visitors should be able to clinch all three points again in a goal-laden fixture.
