Rotherham United and Birmingham City square off on Sunday afternoon with the opportunity to take a significant step forward in their bid to avoid relegation from the Championship.

While Blues currently sit six points clear of the bottom three, Rotherham will halve the gap between themselves and their next opponents with victory at the New York Stadium.

We say: Rotherham United 1-1 Birmingham City

Aware of the consequences of defeat, Rotherham are unlikely to come out firing on all cylinders on Sunday. Nevertheless, the Blues will be more than happy with a share of the spoils, leading us to predict a low-scoring draw.

Barnsley face Coventry City at St Andrew's looking for the victory which will strengthen their bid to earn a place in the Championship playoffs.

Meanwhile, Sky Blues head into the contest on the back of an important win over Rotherham United, a result which moved the club six points clear of the relegation zone.

We say: Coventry City 0-2 Barnsley

Thursday's win over Rotherham has eased the pressure on Robins and his Coventry side ahead of this contest. However, while the Sky Blues will be eager to get another three points on the board, we are backing Barnsley to emerge victorious in relatively comfortable fashion.
