Swansea City lock horns with Rotherham United in round 43 of the Championship on Saturday.
Luke Williams' Swansea are coming off a 3-0 home win over Stoke City in midweek. Liam Cullen opened the scoring in the 19th minute before Matt Grimes doubled their advantage from the spot eight minutes after the restart. Joshua Key confirmed the three points 17 minutes from time.
Following the win, Williams' side are 15th in the standings with 50 points from 42 games, seven clear of the drop zone.
Meanwhile, Leam Richardson's Rotherham fate was sealed as the basement dwellers lost 1-0 at home to Plymouth Argyle last weekend, which confirmed their relegation. They lost 2-0 at home to West Bromwich Albion in midweek, with Brandon Thomas-Asante and John Swift scoring in the first half.

Swansea City vs Rotherham United game prediction
Both sides have had far from impressive campaigns, especially Rotherham, who never got going all season.
Having won just four times all season - and none on the road - Rotherham last won away from home in November 2022, which essentially sealed their fate. Under current boss Richardson - who arrived in December last year - the Millers never got off the foot of the standings.
Swansea, meanwhile, haven't been in the best of form themselves, winning twice in seven games, scuppering their slim chances of playing the promotion playoffs. They would like to steer further clear of the relegation zone against a Rotherham side that has nothing but pride to play for.
The Millers have beaten Swansea just once in 10 meetings, with their last away win in the fixture coming in 2006 in League One. So, expect a comfortable win for the Swans.
