, with Reading the main side that they will be looking to top over the final 14 games of the campaign.

They have been picking up points in recent weeks with three consecutive draws, although they will be hopeful that they can go that one step further here.

One player who has stood out throughout the season, in particular during those draws, is Will Vaulks. The midfielder is the star of Paul Warne's side and will be vital to their hopes of survival.

He has provided a real attacking threat too and is the key for creativity. That comes from open play and set-pieces, with Vaulks finding the net as a result of a direct free-kick at points this season.

The 25-year-old had a direct impact in their goal against Wigan, earning what could prove to be vital as May approaches. His cross was met by the head of Clark Robertson just before the half-hour mark.

The Millers are a side who are strong when it comes to set-pieces in their favour and they'll be particularly looking to utilise that in the remainder of their home games.

While it will provide Vaulks the opportunity to get the ball into the box, there will also be chances for a direct strike on goal. He is a player with the ability to find the net with chances such as that.

Not only are set-pieces crucial, but his impact from open play is noticeable. Despite often lining up in a more defensive role of midfield, he does have the freedom to play in advanced positions when possible.

In terms of the result itself, the recent form may be with the away side but we've seen in the past that this point in the season is often when sides at the bottom begin to pick up more victories as they fight for their Championship lives.

A Rotherham win is tempting at a price of 2/1, although both teams to score looks a good option to explore at a best price of 20/23 with Betfair in a game such as this.
